Hi Eric, thanks for your thoughts. Sorry I wasn't clear-- the 37.5 is effexor dose for hot flashes. I'm on 75 mg lamictal. "Tachyphylaxis"... I had to look that one up. I don't exactly have racing thoughts at night, just recycling worries and planning. When the bad days hit I try to tell myself it's not forever even though it feels like it. My cycles have been short lately-- one bad day followed by a good day. It seems like a night of poor sleep is a huge trigger for depression for me. I started using the ativan again for sleep and will bring all this up with pdoc. I think I minimized the bad days in our last meeting because I was feeling confident they were behind me. Yeah maybe I should go up in dose instead of stopping as soon as I think it's helping.
I'm curious what meds you're on. Do you have experience with lamictal?
