Scott-
I tried one dose of Trileptal. I know, you want to clock me upside the head don't, you!!!???? It was a low dose. I think 150mg. I felt really weird that night and it scared me. I kept feeling unaware of where I physically was in the bed (kind of like a disorientation, i kept waking up and feeling like I couldn't orientate to my surroundings and my place in space i.e. my bed) My doctor wanted to do it because he is thinking an anti-seizure med might help me tolerate an anti-depressant.
The fact that an SSRI evened out my moods in the past has always made me think I couldn't have bipolar. Still, with the present circumstances, I am starting to wonder. I don't know if my mood is still labile and if I am still really irritable un-medicated. I can't ever make it long enough to find out. It is definitely a possiblity.
