Hi Chemist.A few questions, if you don't mind...
Do you still consider yourself to be bipolar? How does your illness present? If Trileptal helped, why are you still not taking it? Do you think Trileptal can exert antidepressant effects in bipolar disorder?
Thanks.
I am not too happy with Zonegran at this point. It is producing too much fatigue. It was my hope that it would punch a hole through my bipolar depression. I guess it is still early, though - 24 days. Maybe the fatigue will dissipate and the depression will lift and I will live happily ever after...
