hi. adjusting to the anti-seizure drugs can sometimes be...difficult. for me, trilpetal helped with agitation, but higher doses caused concentration problems and low mood. other people report much different results, of course.

im kind of wondering if perhaps the abilify is still getting out of your system (if I recall, it has a long half-life, once you've been on it for a while), and maybe some of these problems might be related to the Abilify. I'm --not-- trying to scare you or anything, just thought I'd mention it.

reactions to the anti-seizure drugs can be somewhat unpredictable. it seems that the fda has issued warnings for many anti-seizure drugs (a lot of them, such as trileptal, lamictal, neurontin, etc. are popular for psychiatric indications...). the warning raise the issue of increased mood problems, agitation, suicidal thoughts, now and then psychosis.

those have never been problems for me on trileptal or lamictal, but...i thought id mention it, just in case perhaps trileptal isn't the drug for you.

i hope things get better for you soon.
