With Any Drug

A friend of mine said today that I should ask my pdoc to quit my trileptal (not by name but hes a psychologist). He says im too tired on it. Just because I'm tired at all. Because Ive needed naps since starting this new dose (300).

But to me this drug is working wonders. Beats the way a lot of the other drugs I've been on have made me feel. (Lamictal purple face comes to mind. Geodon made me feel like I'd swallowed an atomic bomb. Aripiprazole gave me akithesia- to name a few.)

We all have to choose side effects vs benefits- with any drug not just psych. Why rule out brain drugs?
