I haven't got a call from my pdoc, but in desperation I placed a call to the neurologist that originally put me on Oxtellar XR (long acting Trileptal).
He wants me to take 1200mg at night along with Geodon for depression.
I fibbed and never told him that I stuck with the 600mg tabs because they worked and I already felt flat so I figured 1200mg would make me a zombie and swell even more.
He wants to see me in a week.
So now is my time to get back on Trileptal and show him in a week the pain and swelling. Maybe at that time he can do a sodium blood test for hyponotremia and also blood work for my liver. Maybe if I walk in with proof he can help me.
Now my question is, how different is 600mg compared to 1200mg? I'm scared. Do I go from now 150mg to 1200mg or just stick with 600mg?
What will happen to me tonight if I go straight to 1200mg?
I'm scared, but I need proof to show the doc.
