Dear Scott...
Very glad to hear from you again. I have been thinking about you, and your condition. Very sorry for the bad side effect from Litium. I´m sure that you know , that giving it a fair chans taks up to severel month. Do you think there is a chans that the side effect possible wean off after some month? I am quite sure that you also considered that. What about Topamax + Lamictal ( I know you use Lamictal, 300 mg, if my memory is not wrong ) There seems to be many positive result from this combo in treating affective syndrom.
I did follow your advise to raise Lamictal from 100 mg to 200 mg, and it was really positive. More energi, and more stable mood. I also raised my Effexor dosage from 150 mg to 300 mg. 300 mg seems to be an optimal dose for me; I have tried to reduced the dosage to 150 mg severel times but the depression symptom occured. So I must say I´m quite satisfied with my states, except partial sexual dysfunktion. Remeron was the best in this respect in combo with Effexor. But Remeron gave me side effect that I couldn´t tolerated.
So my combo today:
Lamictal 200 mg
Effexor 300 mg
Litium (0.6 mmol/)
Nefadar 400 mgI hesitate to believe that this meds combo will hold, and be sufficient in the future, because I and I know you have experienced so many cruel games with this dam... poop out
Anyway I will think about you and your trial on SA-Me, and pray for your. You have suffer more than enough.
Stay well and be well.
Sincerely
/// Petters
