BP II peeps--Tegretol questions...

Posted by fluffy on December 14, 2002, at 11:23:15

I have been prescribed 100mg Tegretol for treatment of Bipolar II. Within the past couple of weeks, I cycled again--going from a normal to hypomanic mood and slammed with depression again.
I wonder if I need to increase the dose of Tegretol (I see my pdoc on monday), or try another mood stabilizer. Anyone had success with Tegretol or Trileptal for Bipolar II? What doses are you on, and what was the starting dose?
If not, any successes with other mood stabilizers if Tegretol didn't work? I wonder if I should try good, old fashioned Lithium?
Confused and depressed w/ a tight-lipped, secretive pdoc,
