Krissy,
> I felt depressed the 3 days I was on Trileptal, and my ankles swelled up something horrible.
That does not sound very promising, but maybe these side effects are only short-term.
> I am so sick of this, really, I mean do I need to find a new pdoc, do I stop all meds? I really wonder at this point!
I agree with Meg. Do your own research and then take your ideas to your pdoc. Meet with your pdoc frequently until you get something figured out that works. Do not self-medicate and do not discontinue your meds without your pdoc's approval.
There is a cocktail out there somewhere that will work for you, Kristen. Your job (along with your pdoc) is to find it.
Best wishes.
