Lamictal started, Viibryd to be discontinued

Posted by jerseygal111 on January 10, 2012, at 19:34:05

I saw my pdoc today and after many trials with various SSRI's and SNRI's which didn't work, he wants me to try lamictal. He thinks I may have some dysphoric, mixed state etc. etc. type of bipolar. I am currently on Viibryd which he wants me to taper off of (didn't work) but am also on Remeron which I'll be staying on. How long will it take before I feel any positive effects from lamictal? I'm starting with the starter pack which starts at 25 mg. gradually increasing to 100 mg. after 4 weeks. Also, I'm very anxious to taper off the Viibryd as I've been on SSRI's for 12 years. He said not to worry about this as I'll still be on the remeron which is also an antidepressant and has positive effects on serotonin. He doesn't want me on too many different antidepressants. Any one else go through anything similar?
