Trileptal was prescribed first. I was on 30/Abilify and still having agitation and mood swings. 1200/day calms things down.
100/Lamictal was added for depression when Prozac and Tofranil both proved unsatisfactory.
Lamictal as monotherapy is do-able with some people. I think in Bipolar II they use 200mgs+ and see where that goes.
Trileptal is weird. I mean, its easy to tolerate. I don't know of any solid data behind it. I find that it helps in combo with other things.
I guess 3 daily meds isn't bad, lol. I was just thinking that maybe 2 anticonvulsants might contribute to depression. Also, I don't understand anticonvulsants, so I don't know what they're doing in my brain, you know? And 2 of them, lol.
