I just went back on Lithium 1350mg a day, and have been on Lamictal 200mg a day. I added Klonopin 1mg two days ago, and I was pleasantly surprised by a wave of intense relaxation and mild euphoria. I stopped cycling as much (I cycle a few times a day), and I actually, for the first time ever, felt COMPLETELY not depressed. In fact I felt great. I still do.
Can anyone explain this? I'm sure this will go away as I build a tolerance to the Klonopin. A friend of mine with severe treatment resistant depression had success ONLY once she added TOpAmax to her Lamictal. Could there be a synergy between Topomax's GABA/A activity and Lamictal? I will substitute the Klonopin with Topamax if things stop working as they are.
I have been on Klonopin before, on 2mg actually, and never experienced ANYTHING like this. I actually felt giddy this time!
Any hypothesis's and theories would be great. This could be IT for me!
