Trileptal might very well help with the hypomanic component of your mixed state. People who have anger or impulse control issues often respond well to Trileptal. In my experience, Trileptal has no discernible if any side effects. The only thing to watch for is a loss of blood sodium (hyponatremia). I would keep the Lamictal and possibly switch from Abilify to Geodon for both depression and perhaps act as a prophylactic against mania. Geodon can work for bipolar depression without having an antidepressant on board. From what I have observed, Abilify is not so good without an antidepressant. Saphris also has antidpressive effects in the absence of an antidepressant.

Be not deceived. There are millions of people in their graves that were prescribed these drugs and took them as prescribed by their doctor and were killed by the drug. And many of those drugged by the doctors killed innocent people.
And children reading here could take the advice you give them like a brother. Their life span could be shortened, they could receive addiction and get life-ruining conditions and death. This is in part caused by the fallacious argument that these drugs are medicines. But a medicine is something that treats a disease. These conditions are not a disease. If they were, then the drugs could cure them, but they do not. These drugs are chemicals used to kill, they are nerve agents used in the commission of mass-murder and to kill parasitic worms and rats.
There is a way to get off the train of death but I am prevented by Mr. Hsiung to post that here due to his prohibition to me to not post the foundation of Judaism as revealed to me.
But the foundation of death is allowed to be promulgated here as the train leaves daily here to transport those taking these drugs to their deaths. And once you are on that train of death, it is most difficult to get off of it because you become captive to the psychiatrists and their drugs by addiction and the false ideas of psychiatry that deceives you into thinking that you have a disease, where no disease is justified to be claimed, and you have to take their concoctions of death that they call "medicines". And then they could convince you that you have a chemical imbalance and their drugs will correct that imbalance. The imbalance will come from taking their drugs and keep you on the train to death to try to find another drug to offset the imbalance that the psychiatrist gave you.
And all the while posters here keep insisting that there is the fantasy out there that you have been given the wrong drug and they will help you to find the right drug for you. Those people that do that here could look back at the people here that were killed by the drugs or killed themselves and ask themselves if the blood of those killed could be upon them. After all, they could have gotten them on the train to their deaths and gave them a ticket to ride.
All aboard,
Lou
