Be careful of the Trileptal or Lamictal they can trigger hypomania, though.

Mitch,
You mentioned that Trileptal can be activating. I think you told me before in another post that Trileptal can cause hypomania, but I guess I wasn't ready to hear it. I have been cylcing more, since Trileptal (and I felt agitated, wired and racy on Lamictal). I just can't imagine that an AC would be activating! Live and learn!Anyway, my point is, that since I switched from Tegretol to Trileptal, I have constantly been having to adjust and add things to my cocktail. The lastest being Neurontin, which was nice and calming in the beginning and helped my sleep. But now I am not sleeping well, but tired alot during the day. So I don't know if going up on the Neurontin would be helpful, but I am only on 600mgs.
I take Trileptal/Neurontin/Celexa (one and a half mgs!)/Valium which for the moment is keeping the lid on things. The addition of Neurontin has decrease the cycling greatly.
BP II and the treatment, for me is constantly evolving. So I am always needing to make adjustments and switches. Has anyone found a regime that has worked well and lasted for more than a few months???
Best wishes to all
Chloe
