I had so much akathesia this morning from taking 300mg of Trileptal last night I thought I was going to go crazy this morning. The higher I go on a Trileptal, the more daytime akathesia. I tapered down to 150mg and didn't have the swelling, pain and lessened akathesia, but not the stability, which is why I took 300mg last night!
This morning I decided to take the low dose Depakote since it doesn't help me sleep and I thought it would help. And it has! I know that good, old Geodon works for my depression and helps me sleep.
I think I might try the low dose Depakote during the day and Geodon at night. I always have Klonopin, but hate taking too much of that because it just puts me in a fog and takes away my personality.
I'm not sure if I should ditch the 150mg of Trileptal or keep it.
I may see if the Depakote and Geodon work. Maybe I won't get the swelling and pain I've had with Trileptal & Lamictal.
Will I have to get bloodwork for low dose Depakote?
