Dear Complicated.
I think you said that you are taking trileptal?
I was taking it at a dose of 1500mg a day in divided doses.
When I started to escalate my pdoc upped the dose and I became hyponatrimia...low sodium...and we had to switch to lamictal.
FOR me...looking back...it was not a good mood stabilizer...again for me.
I don't know how long we are supposed to wait to know if a med is working or not.
What does your pdoc say about all of this.
Have you found any local support groups?
I am so sorry that you are experiencing this rollar coaster...it is hello isn't it.
((((HUGS))))
