I am taking Trileptal and it seems great for my aggression and irritability. BUT - I also have some lingering depression.
I have tried low dose lithium, but since Trileptal already increases my urine output, the lithium added to it just makes that worse and I'm up all night.
I have thought about adding back 5mg of Adderall to my morning dose of Trileptal to get me moving and motivated. Otherwise I just sit around all day - calm, but unproductive and with low depression.
Scott - I asked my doc about bloodwork for the Trileptal and she said she didn't think bloodwork was necessary unless I was taking Trileptal with it.
I just need a little energy and boost for my low grade, constant depression.
Taking 600mg of Trileptal a day, not sure if lowering that is key to lowering depression.
