> My pdoc warned me about this combo. Have you had any particular problems or special precautions?
Hi, Haven't been here in awhile but thought I'd see how the board is doing. Lamictal did same for me. I thought I was cured!! At the time I was just considered major depressed, not BiPolar.I had 6 weeks of bliss from Lamictal and then a crash that sent me back to hospital (again).
Now I am on Lithium and Depakote. Combo's seem to be what me and my doc think may work.This is my regime (I am BPll)
Lithium 300 MG
Depakote 750 MG
Seroquel 100 MG
Wellbutrin 100 MG
Ritalin 10 MG
and some thyroid med that I can never remember name of.
I was hospitalized this past summer for three months and while there the Lithium turned me toxic and hence the hypothyroidism.
Anywhoo, on this combo I can function. My main symptoms now that I would like to correct are tiredness and concentration. We just started the Ritalin today.
Can anyone tell me their experience with Ritalin and Wellbutrin. I react weird to most drugs. Wellbutrin was added two months ago and made me SLEEPY, so doc said take at night. When I took the Ritalin today I read a novel in four hours straight! But it seemed to wear off and made me feel worse.
Any info greatfully received!Mags
