B- I also take Tramadol for a pain issue. I don't take it everyday, but it has pulled me and kept me out of major depression.
I'm afraid that Trileptal has been causing muscle and joint issues. Just this week I pulled my back and couldn't walk!
So I dropped the Trileptal and went up to 600mg of Lithium a day (which should make my doc happy).
I also am still taking 4 mg of Klonopin a day.
Because the pulled muscle, I am back to low dose Tramadol. I see an orthopedic doc on Monday.
I hope 600mg of lithium and 4 mg of Klonopin will keep me stable and most importantly keep me from getting too angry.
At this point I don't know what else to add.
