Phillipa was correct, I'm 6'7" 220, but despite that, the smallest dose of Lith could work for me. Although I am now on 1200mg daily. Bare in mind I have always been EXTREMELY tolerant to meds. I'm coming down off of 14mg Klonopin (The only thing that helped my anxiety, but the dose was so high I began to become WAY too impulsive). In any case, I've come down to 8mg of klonopin and am surprised to notice that the anxiety isn't nearly what I expected. There is almost no change whatsoever...Hard to tell. I think (and hope) the Lithium is playing that role.
About the Lamictal, I maxed that out and it did nothing for me except increase my anxiety, I also did Depakote at a high dose and seemed to do nothing but depress me a bit if anything.
