I don't post on the forums a lot - I rather just observe. I don't know if this is really a trigger, but hey, rather safe than sorry.

I saw my psychiatrist on Monday for a 30 min appointment. I started Trileptal (Oxcarbazepine) 900mg about 3 weeks ago, to replace Tegretol. I also take several other meds.

I told him I was very irritated, he brushed it of and said he thinks it is just part of my normal mood cycle as the Trileptal is supposed to help with that.

The irritation has escalated, I am so irritated that I almost seem aggressive towards others and then I feel so guilty afterwards. I also get so angry on the road that I almost caused two accidents. My spouse is very concerned.

I also have this thing about the number 23 and 5. I won't go into detail about that, but I see it everywhere.

I was there Monday and I don't want to bother him and feel like this high maintenance patient. Don't know what to do.
