Hello,
I deal with a lot of anxiety and formerly depression. The anxiety is fairly in check at the moment (for me, that is ;-) I'm just not ruminating as much, a bit more...shall we say spontaneous? since I'm not tied up, preoccupied with the anxiety?
I'm taking 225mgs effexor XR each day and 25mgs of seroquel which knocks me out at night and quiets my head a bit.
The thing is my pdoc is talking about what med might be more appropriate instead of seroquel. The two he seems to be considering are lamictal and topamax. From my perusing of this board I know lamictal can cause a rash and topamax can have some cognitive slowing associated with it?
Anybody have some thoughts about either of these meds? or about anything? I'd greatly appreciate it.
Thanks,
sg
