Hi again Tree;
Sorry things are not happening for you. This whole thing just sucks the life out of me sometimes. The anxiety does me in either outright or via slow burn and the depression incinerates. I'm 45 and wonder if I will ever get to enjoy my life before it's over. All this to say that I really feel for your struggle. Thinking of you while you try to figure things out.
There is also a thread called 'Is Lamictal Stimulating?' that you might look at. It seems that Lamictal can fry you at first but it's short lived, have to get over that hump so to speak. It really did that to me when I tried to ramp up too fast. I felt manic, was manic. Not so now at 75 mgs but have crept up much more slowly. I'm really trying to cope this time because I'm pretty much out of options as I've tried everything else! Will things work?? Don't know but am keeping the faith for now. Will advise re the beta-blockers. Take care.
