I hear ya. I'm on 1200mgs Trileptal, 100mgs Lamictal, and I can take up to 200mgs gabapentin per day. Oh, and I take 30mgs Abilify and 400mgs Wellbutrin. ugh.

Thing is, I think anticonvulsants are making me slower, mentally. I doubt the 30mgs of Abilify is helping in that department, but the anticonvulsants (I take the trileptal+lamictal daily, the gabapentin is as needed) really seem to keep me zoned out and mellow.

Based on what (very) little I know and can remember from years past, tapering trileptal wasn't that hard, and it improved my concentration. That was over 10 years ago, though. I hear stopping Lamictal can be hell on earth. Gabapentin tapers probably cause problems if you've been on high doses and/or taking it daily for an extended period of time.

ugh. I am sorry about your situation. B-vitamins seem to help me with the congitive stuff, btw.
