Mood Stabilizers - Cocktail...

Posted by TrishP on March 22, 2005, at 6:51:14

Ok - so here is the new cocktail I am trying and I feel pretty good about it. 450 mg. to 600 mg. Trileptal (since I can't get pregnant, I'm ditching the birth control so the Trileptal won't bother my hormones), Wellbutrin XL 150 mg. (love it - PDoc says I can only stay on that if I am on a mood stabilizer), and Trazadone 50 - 100 mg. as needed to sleep.

The Geodon was making me manic - I talked constantly, shopped, and couldn't sleep!

My only concern is if I can have an occasional glass of wine or margarita on the weekend. I don't think I need to be concerned about having a seizure now that I'm off the Geodon.

Any thoughts out there?

hey! Trileptal is one of the friendlier mood-stabilizers when it comes to drug-drug and drug-alcohol interactions. My own doc's advice is to drink rarely and consume an absolute max of 1-2 drinks.
