In reply to Thanks Lawrence...I just had a brainstorm! » lawrence S., posted by ace on April 16, 2003, at 3:19:10
Carbemazepine sounds like a better idea than the AP. I tried Trileptal which is a metabolite of Carbamazepine and had some good results. Unfortunately for me all mood stabilizers, even fish oil cause me to be depressed. From what I gather Carbamazepine has an effect not all that different from benzodiazepines - which is a plus. Does Topamax mix with an maoi? I read that it is effective for SP,(another option if you are considering antiepileptics for mood stabilization and anxiety). That's all I can think of for now Ace. I'll let you know if anything else pops in my head.
I'm going to augment my Nardil with ritalin. (I also have ADD.) I'll have to sit in the Pdoc's office most of the day. He is going to give me 5mg of Ritalin and then check my B.P. periodically thoughout the day, then up the dose if it the B.P. does't go up.
I'm also trying Magnesium Citrate as an augmenter. I'll let you know how that turns out. Some other options that I'm considering are Sam-e + Nardil
