Yes, I am back on the librium 10mg x 2 pday. The switch to valium in hindsight was meaningless. I am seeing my pdoc on Monday. I really am looking for something more effective than depakote. Although Depakote definetly works it can induce some sluggishness and apathy. I still take the prozac although only every other day at 20mg. I know what I get out of Prozac at 20 a day and in my case the mood stabilizer is probably the most crucial drug. Remeron helps my sleep greatly and somewhat with depression but Trileptal is on my mind. I am going to ask for it, and get it, I just need some advice on titration and what to expect regarding side effects. I know you probably have some good advice so fire away. My goal is elimination of prozac with Trileptal while keeping Remeron & librium, hopefully gaining some AD effect even if it is slight while stabilizing hypomania. Depakote does not offer me this option. Thanks. John
