> Col.Hey, that's too bad about the lithium. I definitely have found it very tough to tolerate. It does cause that "dazed" or "zoned" feeling that can be pretty icky. Interestingly, it does seem to also cause a buzzy activating feeling as well. You might consider popping in just a smidge of Neurontin with your Lamictal/Prozac, and see what happens. It won't torque with your Lamictal blood levels and I've always found it great for anxiety.
