Lamical users (soft BP and others):
My doc is hesitant to give me a diagnosis of BPII, but the SSRIs were definitely causing me to act out (taking drugs, spending). Because I have a strong family history of BP, we added Lamictal for a trial and it worked wonders.
My urge to drink is gone and and certain aspects of my anxiety that SSRIs never addressed are gone too.I've been able to drop my Celexa down to 20 mgs.
I have been experiencing headaches. I'm not sure if it's from the meds or from my eyes, which seem suddenly worse. I also have significant carb cravings and bouts of drowsiness.
has anyone else experienced these side effects?
