In reply to Question for chemist or anyone re: AD poop-out, posted by sac on May 12, 2004, at 12:31:13
> I'm currently on Lamictal 150 mgs. w/ Prozac 20 mgs. for bipolar II. I've been on numerous mood stabilizer, AD's, etc. and am becoming desperate again. It seems my Prozac has pooped out. I feel no AD effect at all. I tried upping the Lamictal and only got over-stimulated (in a bad way) if I up the Prozac I know within a week my mood with lift but I risk switching into hypomania and thus worsening the whole cycle. Anything above 20 mgs. Prozac makes me hypomanic. My doc has suggested Geodon (due to some delusions also) Gabitril, or depakote. Which one do I pick? and why does it seem that these mood stabilizers only make me feel worse as in MORE depressed??? I am a 35 year old full-time mom to two small children and my whole life has been taken over by my moods. I just want to feel good again. Can anyone help?
before going about geodon or depakote or gabitril: how much did you go up to on lamictal when it pushed you in hypomanic? all the best, chemist
