The other Psy meds I'm on now are the Emsam patch, 6mg., Ativan (generic).5, Topamax 100mg.and Lamictal, headed up to 200 mg.
I really wanted to get off Emsam and back on Lexapro or Effexor. The Dr. gave me a prescription for Lex late last month at our last visit but 2 weeks without an Maoi or ssri is a Longggg time.
I think my appointment is the 24th. He said maybe I could do a 10 day wash-out if I hadn't been on the patch long, and 6 mg. does seem to be a low dose.
I suppose we'll see.

> It's okay, I've read up on it, and the purpose of Lamictal is to sustain the manic phase of our moods, so that this can extend the "feel good" chemistry in our brains. I feel better on it, I'm only taking 12.5 mg. so far, but I can feel the difference. I'm also on Effexor, Neurontin, on Ultram, for my Fibromyalgia. What other meds are you on, if I may ask? Take care, RaeD
