Hi everyone,
Well, I am trying to titrate up to 100mg on Lamictal. I have been reducing my Prozac and nortriptyline as my pdoc wanted. I am experiencing more depression and suicidal thoughts right now, which could either indicate that the antidepressants were working somewhat, or, that my system is adjusting to being on a lower dose of those meds, similar to withdrawal, I guess.
As a short-term drug to relieve my anxiety and crying jags, my pdoc had me try Geodon 10mg which promptly put me to sleep, although it is supposed to be activating (?)
Now he is suggesting Saphris 5mg at night. I have never heard of this drug.
I'm really scared to take it, don't know what it will do to my system given that Geodon knocked me out (and it wasn't a good kind of knocked-out feeling).
Has anyone tried Saphris for this purpose (as a temporary thing while titrating up another med)?
Has it worked for anyone either alone or in combination?
Thank you for any feedback!
