> It's hard to tell which med is doing it. My first guess would be klonopin, or some reaction of klonopin with the other stuff (for example, theanine...too much gaba stuff from the two together shutting everything down?) I don't know much about memantine. Lamictal can cause worsening, but I don't know how long you've been on it. Generally speaking, klonopin is famous for inducing or worsening depression. Not always, but often. Its long halflife means it will not be out of your system in 24 hours but may take 2 to 3 days. The most likely culprit is whatever med you've added recently. Remove them one at a time or remove all of them, then reintroduce one at a time. Experimenting is the only way to tell. But when you get that depressed, it is dangerous and scary to experiment, yeah? It is for me anyway. Anytime I add a med or stop a med I'm terrified of what might happen. It's all so hard. I wish you the best though and I wish you blessings and I hope you feel better real soon.
Yeah, thats what i thought.......maybe no glutamate and lots of GABA i bad!!but sometimes in jus so desperate to feel better i try everything at once.....but now im worse.
Today i dont feel gr8 - but no memantine or klonopin so wel c how i progress!!! Havn't felt that bad since the day after i last had an alcoholic drink...scary!!
thanks anyway, to you and phillipa!!
