I saw a replacement male pdoc for a short while. Babble gave me the idea of adding an AP to my Celexa. At first I thought of Zyprexa, but replacement pdoc suggested Risperdal instead. Since then I have read about the awful weight gaining side effects of Zyprexa and I'm glad I'm not on it. I would be scared to try it out.
I don't know much about Trileptal though, I think it's a mood stablizer/anti-epileptic?
My pdoc actually don't do much with my meds. She did take away the Welbutrin replacement pdoc added. She was worried about me have seizures because I had bulimia back then. She replaced the Welbutrin with Prozac, which is good for bulimia. For anxiety and tremors she gives me propranolol.
