try taking the trileptal religiously along with whatever else you do. the only reason i can see for not wanting to prescribe seroquel is that you had OD'd on it. it's a perfectly good drug for what you're dealing with. if you're going to take it, try being regular (every day) with it, too. small doses (which i know is what you tend to give yourself) of mj relieve stress, while large doses worsen it.
A pill dispenser (mine is called Dispills) filled by the pharmacist is a great boon to confused people. It's a letter-size page with plastic blisters for the dose. They are marked Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, Bedtime.
To get the pills out, you tear off the perforated piece on the back of the bubble. Get rid of it, so you can see at a glance how many doses you skipped. It doesn't cost extra.
Without that, it's a miracle I didn't OD on something. And no bottles to fiddle with.
I hope this is helpful. I you get well real soon.
