I've been taking 1200 mg of Trileptal and a small amount of Lamictal (12.5 mg). For two days I felt great and then on the second night, I had very intense dreams that brought on a morning headache. I felt very high strung the next day and went into a very hypomanic/dysphoric state. This happens a lot to me whatever kind of antidepressant I use. Even the so-called safe ones like Lamictal. Does anyone have similar experiences?
Thanks

well, when I started lamictal I was really irritable and angry in a way that was really out of character for me. It did pass.

Did you use it with another mood stabilizer or alone. I can't get passed the insomnia and agitation it causes. I hate to up the Xanax because it's so addictive.
Thanks for your response.
