Doc wouldn't let me replace Lamictal with BuSpar. She wants me to up Trileptal to 900 mg a day and stick with low-dose Lamictal. Tried that for a few days and Trileptal is too high for me. Depersonalization and peeing all the time, plus and depression. Lamictal is not helping at this point.
Going to drop back down to 600 mg a day of Trileptal.
Still need to address the depression side and lack of motivation and energy.
Wondering if going back to a couple of low doses a day of Adderall is the answer. Or do I really push the doctor on adding BuSpar instead of Lamictal.
Not sure I can make it through the holidays with this much depression. Also I'm caring for someone with cancer and it's really taking its toll mentally.
Is there another alternative to this? Do I try generic Effexor?
Weird side effect of Trileptal 900 mg made me pee the bed last night! Also weird side effect of Lamictal is making me so hungry I've gained 8 pounds since being on it.
I know I'm weird and tend to have the opposite side effects I don't know why. I googled that hunger side effect of Lamictal and there are some people out there that experience this it's just her weird rare side effect.
Any help out there to get me through this crisis and holiday season thank you so much.
