> my med combo now is 300mg lamictal, 20 mg prozac and 3 mg of klonopin. I guess I will be adding (at first) 150mg of trileptal and increase it from there....Im hoping this will work...

S,That's a good combination IMO although I dislike Lamictal. Other people swear by it. Starting Trileptal at 150mg is smart. I did that for a week then to 300 for a week then 450 for a week 600 for a week then 900 for a few months. In my experience with it the side effects were minimal. Started with a slight transient headache with mild heartburn, then some mild cognitive impairment along with occasional incoordination and slurred speech. They subsided after a few weeks. Trileptal is definitely my second choice to Depakote.
