I am going to drop down, just not familiar with adusting to anticonvulsants and didn't want to give up to soon at 150mg. I dropped back to 125mg and will probably drop to 100mg. I wish Lamictal came in a 125mg tablet. It could get costly having to get a scrip for 100mg and 25mg pills.
I think I might add a low dose of an antidepressant. Paxil for me was by far the best med for social anxiety but the sexual dysfuntion at 20mg was horrible. My doc suggested trying 12.5 CR or 10mg regular Paxil. By the way, my pdoc said something about Paxil CR hitting different receptors since it absorbs in the lower bowels. Do you know anything about this? My only concern about trying it again is I've heard on this thread that once you take Paxil and stop it, the effects aren't as good the second time. It has been over a year since I last took it so maybe I'll give it a shot since it worked so well before.
