They think I am BPII with mostly depression. Any AD's I tried gave me terrible S/E' or they worked for a while and then I crashed big time. I am currently on Lamictal monotherapy and i am slowly sliding into the abyss. I felt fantatstic when I first started Lamictal. At doseage as low as 12.5 mg I was feeling wonderful. I am now at 75mg and am supposed to titrate up to 100mg.
I was wondering what you folks think of this combo. I was on Prozac before and had to go off due to terrible pain and ulcers in stomach ( we figued out that I take ulcer meds when I first start a new drug and that seems to help) I have terrible PMS and that is why I am thinking of Prozac again. The Provigil is for the tiredness and fatique I am feeling again. I am back into a bad habit of not wanting to get up in the morning(worst time for me) and then at night when things are bearable I don't want to go to bed because I know it will be really bad again in the morning.No energy thru the day at all and I have become very irritable. When I was at my worst in the summer and was hospitalized for 5 weeks my nerves were so bad I had giant sores in my head. They are back! I have been taking Ativan for the irritabilty.
Any suggestions or improvements on this plan? I see my PDoc in two weeks and he always ask what I think we should do.
I have tried with no success, Wellbutrin (headaches) Effexor (headaches when I reached 225 mg), Prozac, Imipramine, (sick to my stomach and dopey) Lithium (I hated the shakes!)Pls see another thread I posted on Psychotherapy.
Thanks!
