trileptal AND lamictal?

Posted by Christ_empowered on March 5, 2016, at 20:59:14

That's 1/2 of what I'm on. The other half is Wellbutrin and Abilify. The combo works. Before Wellbutrin was added, I had a major problem with concentration, which I blamed on the 2 anticonvulsants.

Is anyone else on two AED mood drugs? And...can anyone explain why such a combo would work? Is it bad for you? I know AEDs can cause some vitamin deficiencies, which is one reason I'm doing hardcore Orthomolecular (lots of C, E, B vitamins, etc.). So far, so good. No rash or anything.

Thanks.

why would you think 2 anticonvultants could be bad for you?

That's a good question.

I'm taking Lamictal and lithium.

Trileptal + Lamictal should be a good combination if mania or mixed states are problems.
