Depends: If you are having poor seizure control then your aeds need re-evaluation if not then your current treatment may be appropriate the combination can also be used for bipolar disorder. Most psychiatriast evaluate these drugs by the level of mode stabilization and use levels to monitor for toxicity. If your mood is still not stable discuss with your doc about adjusting dose.
