My pdoc asked me about lithium this week and I said no bc of weight gain. She then upped my lamictal to 200 and gave me an rx for triliptal if the upping didn't work. My moods are getting scary and wondering if I should forget about filling the trileptal and go back to pdoc for lithium.
I know we are all different but what are your experiences of triliptal vs lithium

Trileptal kept me stable for about eight months. Lithium never did anything for my mood.

I have not tried Trileptal but hope to, in the future. I am on Lithium.
All I can say that you need something against the elevated phase ASAP, because your dose of AD's might cause a flip into hypomania. |
