It’s always a good day when I get to officially lose a medication. Today, my psychiatrist said I can stop taking my Trileptal. Yay!
I’ve been on Trileptal since March 2010, since just after my last psychotic episode. It was originally my primary mood stabilizer until I started taking Abilify. Now, Abilify will act as my only mood stabilizer and antipsychotic. I’ll continue on Viibryd and Wellbutrin as my antidepressants.
Things are going well with therapy as well. My therapist offered to let me drop to visits two weeks apart instead of once a week, but I’m a little paranoid that things may not stay as well as they’re going now, so I will continue weekly for now.
It’s a good day, for sure.
