good thinking MrsD, yes i am prone to dehydration at times, is that the same as hyponatremia?, maybe i was hyponatremic. all i know is i had a bad headache and my spine/neck was really stiff like i couldn't move it around whenever i took the trileptal. and at a couple of points i was taking lexapro, this was early in january.

I always thought it didn't have as much side effects and since topamax and gabapentin worked well i thought, so why wouldn't this work. well it turns out they are different. I may either have to go back on topamax or try something else like lamictal(this has that nasty rash risk) but otherwise it seems pretty benign, especially when compared to those heavy antipsychotics, or ssri's. I need it for pain/depression.
