adding trileptal to lamictal

Posted by horse1 on June 16, 2016, at 20:24:26

I'd interested in any thoughts on trilpetal with lamictal or by itself. I start tonight and am a little nervous.

My illness is cyclothymic/BPll, and this is the second year that I've an uptick of anxiety and general agitation at this time. My doc's target is around 450 mg although he's open to 300 mg if it does the trick.

I have been diagnosed with Bipolar I. I take 1200/trileptal and 100/lamictal, plus 30/abilify and 400/wellbutrin.

I think the trileptal+lamictal combo has helped me considerably...it was sedating and kind of mind-numbing at first, but then my body adjusted and my doctor added wellbutrin.

Good luck.

Thanks :)

I started with 150 mg last night, and I felt a wee bit hung over this morning but ok now. At 450 mg, I imagine I'll get used to it, however tomorrow I'm supposed to add 150 in the am, and I don't know how that's go. I take the majority of psych meds at night because they make me too fuzzy during the day.
