I've been taking 600mg of the new extended release version of Trileptal (Oxtellar XR) along with 1-2mg of Klonopin and 40mg of a Geodon for depression.
The Trileptal extended version knocks me out at bedtime and I sleep pretty good (since I have a terrible time sleeping). But I just feel so darn flat. During the day when the half life is gone I feel jittery and have to supplement with Klonopin which works.
The Trileptal also cures the irritability, but I feel so flat, like I've had a total shutdown of my personality. I don't do any of the things that bring me joy like reading. I used to read tons of books. I miss that.
I just have no motivation or enthusiasm, but on the other hand I'm nice, quiet and not agitated and irritable and don't fly off the handle.
What do I do? I. Having a love hate relationship with myself. I feel like a major couch potato! It kinda sucks.
Thoughts?
