Hi Amy,
I did the same thing, I really did some serious research, online, as well as a friend who takes Trileptal, and my doc of course. I am on 50mg of Lamictal, and have been on only 50mg for about 2 years. My body is sensitive, and I seem to only need small doses of medications, but in the right combination. The Lamictal alone at 50mg-even though it may not have been a therapeutic dose, has never worked alone. I am a rapid cycler. I have also been diagnosed with major depression in the past. Bipolar 2 has come up, but my psychiatrists have clearly identified me as a cycler. I never get the extreme highs and lows that Bipolars do, so I don't think I fit the label.
I also take Seroquel and Klonopin with the Trileptal and Lamictal.
I wish you the best in deciding if Trileptal is something you choose to try. After day 3 I feel pretty well, just nausea, that's it. I can deal with that, although somewhat very uncomfortable. :-(
Hope this helped,
Pam
