In reply to trileptal for tegretol non responders ??, posted by linkadge on June 11, 2004, at 9:54:28
If your P-Doc is aware that you have already tried tegretol, which I assume he is, he must have a reason for trying trileptal. If your so causious about it, ask him, but don't just not fill the prescription and go see another doctor or something. I just don't understand why you don't just TRY the drug, what are you going to lose? I find this really upsetting because I used to do the same thing with meds, and I wasted a lot of time, I wasted a lot of life. I'm still depressed but better than I was before and I think I'll continue to get better as long as I don't try to prescribe the medications for myself. You give a lot of good advice at psychobabble and your obviously very intelligent but sometimes that can be a defecit becuause it makes it hard to trust other people. I really hope you reconsider and a least try the drug.
