I take Trileptal. 450 mg twice day (900mg total). I feel pretty calm with it. I don't know my swings before. I'm bipolar not specified at the moment because I got a new psychiatrist and she needs to get to know me. I don't know much about my bipolar. I'm supposed to take classes to figure out my triggers and such. I new to being bipolar. But my medicine seems like it's helping so far.
