> Hi again. Well many, if not most, mood stabilisers do make you tired to a certain degree. You might want to try Trileptal. I'm just worried if you go back on Effexor your hypomanic episode will be more frequent without the aid of a mood stabiliser. So maybe you could give that a go? I take Trileptal and it was only sedating the first week or so and only slightly.

I'm getting a second opinion about the BP II, from a highly recommended pdoc in about one month. I tend to think that the hypomania was medication induced.

I just did some reading about Trileptal. It does sound like a good med. relative to the other mood stabilizers. Do you have any idea about what % of patients respond to it? Also, does it take about 4 weeks to see results?

Thanks
