Hi,
My doc added Trileptal to my other meds for the treatment of my OCD and Biporlar II disorder. I have found the med to work wonders on my daily racing thoughts and my agitation.
I currently take 1,800mg of Trileptal along with my Lexapro, Klonopin, and Remeron.
My pdoc. said that the max. dose of Trileptal is 2,400mg a day for adults and if I felt comfortable I could increase it to that level.
My problem is that the Trileptal is beginning to loss its effectiveness between the three divided doses during the day--morning, evening, and night.
If I call to see about increasing it I will have to go see my pdoc. I just saw him a week ago. He charges $115.00 a visit and I cannot afford to go and ask him this question. I have plenty of the medication on hand but I am always scared and never take more than I am supposed to.
But I know I would benefit from an increase in dosage of my Trileptal. What should I do?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
BRC
