Hi dolphin girl and ruby.vroom,
I have been on 3 different meds to stabilize my mood, depakote, tegretol and now triliptil. Triliptil is really just tegretol with an extra oxygen molecule. I like it because it doesn't have the propensity to cause weight gain. It seems to help my mood pretty well I've only been triliptil 2months so I'll see. I still lose my temper sometimes but I seem to pull myself together better. hang in there, Sami
