Thanks glenntaj

Well like I said, I had an MRI of the spine area 5 years ago and because of those results I was put on Trileptal.


What I really want to know is if this new doctor who is 100% against Trileptal is a good doctor, if I should trust her, or just find somebody else.

Honestly she seemed misinformed about Trileptal and has no problem taking me off of it, even though it is causing me a lot of pain now.

And wanting to replace it with Effexor which is an intense antidepressant and seems a lot more dangerous than Trileptal (she wants me off Trileptal due to it's possible side effects, NONE OF WHICH I'VE DEVELOPED in 5 years of taking it), which I do not feel I need, seems bizarre to me.
