Re: Lithium Trileptal interaction?

In reply to Lithium Trileptal interaction?, posted by sheilac on March 22, 2012, at 13:51:31

Hi there. I was on tripletal (paired with cymbalta) for four years. All was successful. In 2006 I stopped both, to have a baby, then resumed both in 2007. After about a year I added lithium to the mix. Within a year something went wrong-I began to get very angry, have outbursts in front of the kids, etc. I stopped the Trileptal and went to Seroquel, and things improved.

It did not occur to me at the time that the problem could have been lithium, but it has since. I am about to go off lithium due to another issue, and am hoping dearly I can tolerate the Tripletal again. I suspect it is a much safer than Seroquel to be on longer term.

I have found on the internet some reference to problems between Tegretol, which is very similar to Trileptal, and Lithium. Nothing was in a language I understood much... something about
neurotoxities. Sounded important. I would surely like to know how that is relevant to our situations.

Good luck.
