Now that I am somewhat acustomed to the tegretol, do you think that my brain/body would accept trileptal now? I think the two benefits would be that it might not be lowering the diazepam levels, and that i think the tegretol is giving me quite bad rapid heart beats, arrythmias, which i had a minor surgery for 10 years ago.
I started this taper on trileptal,, and although i hated it, and what it induced, it allowed me to cut from 30mgs to 10mgs in 10 days. It might be arrogant and wishful thinking to think that it would do the same now.
I see it is quite an easy crossover, tegretol 200mgs=300mgs of trileptal, so I'd be on 1200 trileptal.Also, with trileptal, i had to dose just as often with the peaks and valleys.
Your opinion? Gone to that well too many times?
