FYI, I am finding as I lower my dose of Trileptal, I am feeling calmer, more tired and I am sleeping better! Could Trileptal be that activating? Tegretol was not activating at all after getting used to it. I slept like a baby every night.

I was afraid I had to be on thousands of milligrams, which I know I couldn't tolerate!). So far so good. I am just so sleepy during the day...I am sure I will adjust to lack of Trileptal. I just hope I dont' have to go up on my 1 and 1/2 mgs of Celexa. That seems like just enough for mood enhancement.
