Thanks very much, to the both of you, for your responses. I think I may need to increase the Zoloft (on 50mg now), and yes I got startup symptoms on that medication that are starting to subside. But still anxiety is super high all day long. I am looking for something to replace the Ativan for that.
As far as the trileptal, I took 150 last night and was fine, relaxed, fell asleep, but woke through the night over and over with a panicked feeling and depressive feeling, and felt very nauseous and had horrible nightmares. I woke up this morning with anxiety (which I always do) and took 75 mg and began crying within 25 min. Now I just feel kind of stoned, and have diarrhea. Called my psych but he is often out of the office and it takes a long time to get ahold of him.
Ultimately I will go with his advice, but I was wondering what you thought about this? Should I stick with the trileptal? Could increasing the Zoloft help? Zoloft and Seroquel 50mg were my magic combination in the past, don't know if that's any help. Thanks for the help!
