Hi,
I would suggest that you start Trileptal at a dose of one 150mg tablet twice daily (every 12 hours, morning and evening). This is lower than the starting dose recommended for epilepsy (300mg twice daily).
I think you should start at a low dose for several reasons........
1) You have responded to a low dose of Depakote, a small dose of Trileptal may be sufficient.
2) You are still taking Depakote and want to minimise side effects.
3) You do not have epilepsy, the official dosing guidelines are for epilepsy.>going to 5mg valium 2x/day = 25mg librium for a lib washout.
I thought you were happy with Librium, why do you want to take Valium instead?
>Let's say I add trileptal and reduce Depakote to 125.
Do you take controlled release Depakote?
