I am bipolar 2, take 900mg lithium and 600 mg Trileptal with 5 mg Trintellix to help w endless depression. I feel brain fog, and have gained weight, 10lbs (I'm 5'2).I can't focus .
I have tried Lamictal, this is super agitating, as are many atypical antipsychotics.
Advice, experiences greatly appreciated.
Any one experience exhaustion on lithium and Trileptal?

I gained also heaps of weight on lithium. I remember the fog in head but it will get better with time. None of this remains for me after two years on lithium. Best wishes
