Trileptal: For some it does help, so does zoloft (sertraline).

Trileptal: Anxiety can certainly come with bipolar disorder, especially if you're on zoloft (sertraline) without a mood stabilizing medication. Trileptal can help stabilize your mood, and thus help with anxiety too. Hoping you're working with a psychiatrist on this, as it sounds like your situation may be more complex than most primary care physicians like to manage on their own. Best wishes.
