In reply to Re: Seroquel-Trazodone-Trileptal-Valium Combo??!!, posted by Phillipa on March 10, 2005, at 21:12:52
Phillipa and all:
You found another error Phillipa. No, do not take 1mg Valium; take 10mg; sorry.
So, made corrections and this IS my plan for now:
1) Seroquel 100mg for sleep2) trazodone 100mg for sleep
3) Seroquel 25mg, x3 only, for day panic/anxiety
3) Trileptal 300mg 2x a day
I like your responses re: Trileptal and want to continue giving it a try, as even this evening I am feeling relaxed and comfortable, and it's been a long time since I've felt anything like this!!!
My regular P was lackadaisical about Trileptal altogether. The P I had in the hospital kept saying he thought I needed it, and I'm beginning to think he was right.
Not sure what 'times of day' to take these two doses of Trileptal. Instructions on bottle are every 12hrs.
Appreciate suggestions or your experience w/ Trileptal as far as dosage and regimen. Will also check Internet.
After all these years of not feeling I have enough symptoms of bipolar to necessitate a mood stabilizer, and not knowing that people w/ borderline take mood stabilizers, I am finally seeing my illness and treatment more clearly. I think may have BPD and type 2(?-hypo) bipolar.
Hate ask you all again, but do you think I'm onto something here?
Don't worry, I realize what you may say may be your opinion or your experience, and would never hold anyone here responsible to my decisions or actions! It's just current P, as I told you, is not helping me. Remember when I said he thought my daughter was his patient as she accompanied me to last appt.? I forgot to mention, she has short blonde hair, and I have very long dark hair!
I feel this combo is pretty sedating, but maybe that will lessen w/ time; better than the awful nervous system overload I experienced.
goodnight all, cf
