In reply to Hattree - hi. More questions. . ., posted by Bekka H. on March 15, 2002, at 1:19:46
Hey Bekka, I was wondering how your Lamictal trial was going.
> I have another question. . .Have you ever taken more than 7.5 milligrams of Dex with Lamictal? If so, what happened? Was it too stimulating?
No, I don't notice that Lamictal has any effect that way. I just find 7.5 mg to be plenty. (For a long time I was able to get help from 2.5 mg, but thats just me.)
> Also, when you take your morning dose, do you take Dex and Lamictal together (that is, do you take them in the same gulp), or do you take them a few hours apart?
I take Lamictal with my coffee when I get up, and don't take a stimulant until the caffeine wears off.
> Have you had any significant adverse interactions when combining Lamictal with other drugs, either other antidepressants or anything else? For example, what if you got sick and had to take an antibiotic. Could you still take Lamictal with it?
>
I have taken Lamictal with antibiotics without incident...I haven't experienced any drug interactions at all and from what I understand there aren't many, other than depakote increasing the likelihood of the rash.Keep me posted.
