I've just started Trileptal because I needed something more calming than Lamictal. I am more anxious, nervous than ever. I'm only at 150 mg 2/day. I'm a wreck. Do I need higher dosage or what? I'm not calm at all. Help!!

Hi there. Trileptal makes most people tired, but of course there are always exceptions. Why don't you try LOWERING the dose to 150mg a day for now and call your doctor.
I started at 150 mg a day and worked my way to 300 mg recently. I find that the tiredness goes away so hopefully your anxiety will as well. If not, then I guess it's not the right med for you.
I am sorry you are feeling so awful right now.

Thanks for your reply. I could deal with the tiredness if only I wansn't so nervous and anxious. I suppose this is an unusual response since my doctor thought it would be more calming for me. I am ready to throw in the towel on this one because I'm already agitated to begin with.
