Yes: It is safe to go back to your previous dose while you were waiting for him to get back to you but make sure you get in touch with him or the doctor that is covering him asap.

Yes.: The most common side-effect of Trileptal is headaches (31%), dizziness, nausea, drowsiness, vomitting and visual blurring. If you didn't have problems with 150 mg. Bid, go back to that dose.
