Scott,
No agitation or irritibility at all. Quite calm and relaxed actually. Just an overwhelming suicidal crying sobbing despair type depression. Definitely drug induced, no question about it. This was not a natural course of things I experience day to day. I was in pretty bad shape before beginning lamictal, but nothing in comparison to how I was 4 days later after starting it. Most of today has still been very bad as I patiently wait for lamictal to clear out. Then I'll be back to my baseline which is pretty bad and will go from there.
Zyprexa gives me jitters in the hands, especially upon waking, so I am fearful of increasing the dose above 2.5mg. But as paradoxical as everything has been with me, maybe a higher dose would actually help. The lamictal actually calmed the hand jitters, and right now I can feel the lamictal wearing off, anxiety coming back, and hand jitters returning. The tears seem to be less frequent.
