Circling back, how is this going for you?

It was constant headache felt like swelling so switched to Oxcarbazepine / Trileptal and that seems to not have any side effects so far

Interesting! Another anti-epileptic that is a Benzo. 🧐. I’m having a shitty day today… it just sounds magical. 🤣

I don’t know much about the meds yet but yes anti epileptic. Wondering what your thought are on that?

I also take Lamictal which is an anti epileptic. They started me on it for TD. This is the second one I've come across for bipolar. I think it's interesting that it also works for it. Never knew there was one that is also a benzo. Does that help you sleep too?
