I'm on Trileptal now, 900 mg, and it seems to be lifting me out of my depression and ending a rather vicious phase of rapid cycling. Fingers crossed.
Also, aside from a little sleepiness, I have not noticed any real side effects. My cognitive abilities, if anything, seem to be returning (especially after quitting the Lamictal).
I'm also on Celexa 40 mg day, which abates depression.
In my case, I think the Lamictal (25 mg), which I started in January, led to the rapid cycling and, in general, made me more obsessive about everything, especially my health.
