I have been on Lamictal for a few years. I had a manic episode about three years ago and pdoc added lithium because the Lamictal wasn't working alone. I have been on lithium since then. Just happens I was seeing pdoc yesterday and we are going to try to eliminate the lithium. I have a very flat affect and we think it may be that I no longer need the lithium, Lamictal alone may be okay for me now. Also seems that most of my med complaints (side effects) are a result of the lithium so I am hoping that I will feel just by eliminating some of the side effects. I also take Cymbalta for my anti-depressant. We are going to leave that alone.
I am not familiar with trileptal but I wanted to throw my two cents in since we are both taking lithium. Hope you do well with the med change.
