I've been on a long list of mood stablizers in the past 4-5 years (lithium brought on panic, depakote brought on memory loss and slurred speech, lamictal brought on rash, something else along the way made me drunk,...). So now I'm trying trileptal for the bipolarII. I've been on wellbutrinSR all the while for the depression (that's where I settle when my moods are stablized) and adderall for ADD. The wellbutrin and adderall worked well when on the Depakote and lamictal (I took both together - depakote for the overall stablizer; lamictal because I'm a rapid cycler with mixed states. I'm a real mess!)
Well, I've been on the trileptal for about 5 weeks now and I've been carrying a headache and dizziness/nausea since passing 600 mg. on my way to 1200mg - supposedly the "theraputic dosage" The dizziness, etc. does not come on when I take the trileptal, but when I take the adderall. (I've been experimenting.) But when I cut back on the adderall, I'm back to total disorganization and distraction. Any advice?
