started trileptal about 5 days ago, 150mg at bed time, as a trial for ADD (or whatever I have)
past two days I've been feeling super depressed in the afternoon. An odd sort of depression that feels drug induced.
pretty sure it is the trileptal. Will it go away at higher doses? my doc instructed me to take it once a day, but the literature says BID. hmmm.

Too small a dose to really say. Since when is Trileptal prescribed for ADHD? Get on a proper ADHD med.

What exactly are you being treated for?

Yes, I've tried every single ADD med in existence.
