I have been taking Klonopin for years. I have to take 2mg at night to relax. I can get away with 1mg during the day if I run into anxiety. But it doesn't make me feel stoned.

If I take even a moderate dose (300mg) of Lithium along with 450mg - 600mg of Trileptal I am tired and a little depressed.

I am far too sensitive to meds. A little goes a long way for me. Plus, I've noticed that a med really kicks in for me when I eat with the med.

Also, in the past I gained and kept on 30 lbs with Celexa. I guess Celexa and Lexapro just veg me out.

I'm actually surprised that the Trileptal has kept me stable. I really like it.

I think if I take a higher dose, like 600mg of Trileptal along with a tiny dose, say 5mg of Adderall XR, maybe that will help with the motivation factor and slight depression.

I've tried Zoloft in the past and that made me super anxious and even bordering on a little mania.

I guess instead of serotonin, which I thought I needed and would be the answer to my problems, what I really need is a long acting dopamine.
