Hi:
>>> The nurse just called back, and the doctor has put her on 75mg of Trileptal as well as what she has been taking. How does that sound to all of you? <<<--- Recalling your daughter has 'irritability problem' in your previous post, ... in my 'good' guess, ... this/irritability is somehow related to 'bad-side hypomanic' side, not due to depression, ... for that reason she NEEDS more 'legitimate' mood-stabilizer, Trileptal. Also, I recall, she's on another M.S., Topamax, however this med. is NOT a truly mood-stabilizer. Rather, it's an 'add-on' mood-stabilizer to assist 'pure' form mood-stabilizer, such as Depakote, Lithium, and others. In this regard, ... hopefully your daughter gets a 'good' benefit from starting on Trileptal.
I read some of Bper's are quite content with this mood-stabilizer. As we all know, everyone reacts differently on various form of psycho.meds. In regard to 'weight-gain,' I rarely read 'terrible' weight issue attached to this M.S. Rather, some are quite happy about a good result with it. As for 'four' different meds., ... most of Bper's need this amount/# meds., believe or not, ... partly because of a complexity of this M.I. I, too have been on 'four' meds., ... it didn't happen overnite tho'. My competent pdoc. rx'ed one med. at a time over the years and my Bp symptoms/Bp II with rapid-cycler has been ALMOST 'remission,' not having the highs and lows I was years ago. Then, 'HOPE' is there.
Please keep us posted how she's doing on new med. regimen.
H.G.
