Hi,
>I wrote down the Trileptal dosage to show let my doc know, it makes sense.
The 150mg tablets are scored so you can cut them in half. If you get any side effects at 150mg twice daily you could reduce the dose for a few days and then increase when you're ready.
>I do take the ER version of Depakote.
If you want to reduce your Depakote to 125mg/day, you'll need to get the Depakote immediate release 125mg tablets. You're not supposed to cut the Depakote ER tablets in half.
You would need to take half a Depakote 125mg tablet in the morning and the other half in the evening.
>I was thinking maybe the lib would be more effective with a brief( had in mind 4 to 8 weeks) washout.
You mean taking Valium for a few weeks and then going back to Librium? I honestly don't think it would be helpful, it wouldn't reduce you're benzo tolerance, Val and Lib are so similar.
Have you ever taken carbamazepine (Tegretol)? What effect did it have? What dose did you take?
Ed.
