Hi Ed,
Yeah, I tried Trileptal last month. It was a pretty bad experience. It made me more depressed and super cognitively dulled. (Way more than Depakote, even...) My pdoc wants to try low-dose Lexapro and then add an anti-manic if necessary at this point.
I'm one week into the Lex at this point at 2.5 mgs/day. I went through a period of feeling worse, but now I think I'm about back to where I started. I'm hoping that the upward trend continues. It's early still, but I'm always worried about getting worse on an AD after a horrible experience with Serzone last year.
Anyway, thanks as always for your input.
Best,
