Thanks Elizabeth for your reply--that was very nice of you to take the time to read the Product Insert.
I'm an Elizabeth too, had to find a different board name because you beat me to it :)
For whatever reason, the Prozac seems to interact with the Trileptal for me!!! I did some experiments last week, and even adding 10 mg of the Prozac would induce some pretty bad headaches, naseua, etc.
Of course, without the Prozac in my system I got depressed, so going in to see doc this week. It'll either be Zoloft or Effexor XR.
If you don't mind me asking, are you BiPolar? If so, I or II? Do you taking any other psychotropic drugs? There's been some controversy (namely, at psycheducation.org) about whether BPII's who have depression as well should be taking AD's. I go back and forth--I understand their logic, but I'm rapid cycling mixed episode and have never hit true "mania", so not concerned with switching per se. I'm always switching!!!
Anyway, thanks again!!
Elizabeth
