Just diagnosed bipolar....meds ?

Posted by fiftylager on April 26, 2006, at 21:33:02

I've been prescribed lamotrigine (lamictal) and risperdal. I'm starting very slowly on the lamotrigine because I am very sensitive to meds. I'm taking 25 mg every other day for 2 weeks then upping to 1 every day for 2 weeks, then 2 every day for 2 weeks etc. What can I expect to feel from this med?

The pdoc wanted me to take the risperdal with the lamotrigine but we decided to use it as needed for now because I'm too nervous to start both. Also anti-psychotics scare me. The riperdal is for severe anxiety or agitation and racing thoughts. Does anyone else take this or both meds together. Any input would be great! Thank you,
Crissi
