Reducing Dose Only to Have Worsening Symptoms

About 10 days ago I felt good enough to scale back my Trileptal. My thyroid health began to suffer and pointed hypothyroidism. Ruled out Hashimoto’s and instead of adding on Synthroid, my GP encouraged me to try scaling back on Trileptal. I was confident and optimistic.

Turns out that my TN is worse now that when I started meds. It’s awful. I’m now ramping back up to 300mg three times a day and have lots of break thru pain.

Brain feels like it’s in a blender, emotions raw. There is pain in places there never was before. Got my Botox done (it’s helped), but this is wild.

Has anyone else experienced this? Any words of wisdom? My GP is excellent, neurosurgeon wonderful, but neurologist hard to see).
