Pdoc decreased the trileptal to 150 mg/2xday and no problems since then. Lamitical and trileptal also do have an interaction so titrating from one to the other (getting one completely out of the system) could be a difficulty as well.

@raspberrytorte Be careful. It is a dangerous road you are traveling ESPECIALLY if your pdoc is completely in the dark about it. How can she help you when she doesn't know what dosages of which meds you are taking? Plus you know Seroquel DOES help with anxiety and it might just decrease the presence of that negative entity, which I can't imagine being pleasant to deal with at any time. If you are not prepared to take your meds as prescribed, please, please tell your pdoc. Otherwise how can she help you if things get worse?

@Nammu I'm sorry you are down (((HUGS)))

Great pics eveyone esle. I may share a recent selfie later on if I do look too weird in them. I often catch my eyes at weird angles or a bad head tilt, wind blowing hair in my face.
Oh okay I’m on a much larger dose of trileptal, I’m on 1500 mg a day , so we’ll see how it goes. My doctor said I can start the Lamictal tomorrow and then once we reach a therapeutic dose of Lamictal start decreasing the trileptal. It’s gonna take a few months till I’m at a therapeutic dose of Lamictal cause the doses only get increased by 25mg every two weeks
