My psychiatrist said it’s okay to be on both the trileptal and the lamictal. So I might not even have to go through with tapering off the trileptal. If a low dose of Lamictal works out I might not have to make any more changes. My trileptal is effective to an extent. It’s just the anger and irritability due to low level depressive episodes and the impulsive manic behavior when I’m manic. Such as the overspending. Those are the things I need help with. Obviously with both a combo of therapy and meds. But I’m hopeful that this works out! It would be a relief if after I get up to the 50mg to not have to make any more changes. Cause that might work well enough taken in consideration the effectiveness of the other meds I’m on as well. We’ll see how it goes though. It’s only day 1. I’m just terrified of getting that Lamictal rash. Hoping that doesn’t happen.
