Adding Trileptal - Will it really stabilize me?

Posted by phidippus on April 8, 2012, at 18:10:04

I take 1200mg of Lithium every day because I am diagnosed a bipolar II

I also take 60 mgs of Viibryd to treat severe OCD.

To keep my mood in balance and to further treat the OCD I take Latuda.

As it stands, right now I am having mood instability-depressive spells, irritability, panic and anxiety-and right now me and my pdoc have decided to tackle the mood instability with Trileptal.

Will being on a second mood stabilizer provide me with more mood stability than just being on one?

I think it might things worse. Maybe reduce your meds and/or drop something?

> I think it might things worse.

Why do you say that?
