bryn, your story and symptoms sound so much like me. I am going to bring up the possibility of a Bipolar 2 diagnosis for me when I next see my pdoc. At least I am getting Tegretol added to my therapy, though I think I might ask him to change it to Trileptal when I see him. In my pharmacy handbook, the list of adverse effects with Tegretol was about 2 pages long; the list for Trileptal only took up half a page. Not to mention the actual adverse effects themselves seemed overall to be much more benign with Trileptal than those listed for Tegretol.
I hope the Trileptal helps you and that you start feeling better!
KatIve got a really bad disease
Its got me begging on my hands and knees
So take me to emergency
Cause somethin seems to be missing
Somebody take the pain away
Its like an ulcer bleeding in my brain
