> Vincent lamictal got to 50mg didn't increase my anxiety? I think the prozac sounds like a good idea. Love Phillipa
Yeah, maybe a low dose of Remeron at bedtime + the liquid Prozac, increase by 1 mg each week, will help me to being able to start an antidepressant again??? The remeron is good to reduce the initial anxiety caused by all the SSRI's in general, on me at least... but also cause major weight gain... Anyway, for now I think that I prefer to have 30 pounds more on me than living in that high state of anxiety!!!
If I start again the Prozac, I will increase it very slowly... and when I will feel more comfortable with the serotonin reputake effect, will try to switch to the only one SSRI who always work on me to block the panic attack, I mean the Paxil... and will do the best to change my food habit while I will be on that med and exercise more to prevent the weight gain.
For the Lamictal... I don't know if it will be good for my anxiety. Maybe it will make my mood more stable, I mean will get up in the morning and stay always with the same level of anxiety for the whole day... For now, I wake up in the morning with high anxiety but no symptoms... but anxiety start increasing more and more with time and in the evening I have 1000 symptoms... Maybe the Lamictal will make all of this more stable? Who know... if I don't try I will never know...
