I stopped the Trileptal due to the pain and swelling in my legs and feet. Miraculously, the pain is gone! For some reason Trileptal was causing the swelling and joint pain.
My doc gave me some depakote to try, but it is making me depressed. It's not helping sleep. I miss the Trileptal.
I'm guessing my options are to stay with depakote and add back Geodon for depression. Or, go to a low dose of Trileptal and add in a low dose of Lamictal for depression.
I wish I could stick with Trileptal and not have the swelling and pain.
I'm not sure which is worse, crippling physical pain from Trileptal or depression and mood instability without Trileptal.
