Hiya Barb,
I find it interesting that you are thinking of stopping Lithium. I thought it was such a magic combo for you. Have you been gaining weight or having problems (more so than before) in the thyroid department?I don't know either. I was reluctant to start Depakote in the first place and it is *sorta* working. I think I could up the dose. But I tend to get tired quickly even with the L-Carnitine. And I'm not losing weight, etc....
the main thing is that PCOS scare. anyway, I just want off of it. If in six months, I've tried everything else and I have to come back to it so be it.I'm interested in the Trileptal i think too. They all seem to have more or less the same s/e just in different degrees. Fatigue seems to be a common among them. And that's not what I need. But maybe the Lamc. will offset this. Tril. is chemically related to Tegretol, but with less s/e and easier to take.
I'll have a look around the board here and see what I see.
good to be in touch.
