For me, the Trileptal helps with the ups and downs I have without making me feel depressed.
I don't like Provigil. It gives me a headache in the back of my head which is not a good sign. I have been on it twice and it did the same thing.
Lamictal makes me depressed for some reason. Again, I have tried it twice with the same results. That being said I haven't tried in the last couple of years. It might be worth trying it again. I will keep that combo in mind.
I am meeting with my pdoc on Friday to discuss my options. The pyschiatric hospital where he used to work is doing TMS and TDCS and I would like to have TDCS done if I am a good candidate. I am hoping that he would be able to pull some strings to get me on the list to try it.
What do you think about TDCS? Have you ever had it before?
