Hey Shez!

I should have understand what AED means,... it was just I thought of them as Anti-Seizure meds, lol.. but now it makes all sense

Yes, Depakote and Trileptal are both AED's, and my pdoc gave me both because Depakote alone wasn't being completely effective so Trileptal was added to the mix.

I actually don't have seizures in the sense that my brain is acting normally and suddenly starts an electric storm (not partial nor generalized). It is more like in a region of the brain there is always an abnormal activity going on. In that region of the brain, the neurons are always acting more than they should. It is not epilepsy. I would like to tell you in which part of the brain is this abnormal activity but I don't have the results at hand right now. I would like to remember what else the neurologist told me but I don't have any idea since I was so zombified from the meds I was taking at that time.

I am not taking Lithium. It was a med that my pdoc was considering to give me if Depakote didn't work. As far it seems, Depakote is maybe starting to work.

I have been in contact with my pdoc and she has been readjusting my meds to try to stabilize me. Actually I talked to her yesterday and she made a new readjustment and I have to wait two or three days to see if it is working. All we are doing now is trying to stop a possible hypomanic state (or worse, a mixed one), and it seems she is succeding at that.

You are completely right! Thing haven't been easy at all but I really appreciate your support and also all the support I have received from PC... thank you for your wishes, I hope you are doing just fine and also send you my very best wishes!!
