Lamictal makes me feel the same as being on Adderall. Doesn't matter if I take 12.5 or 100mg, it makes me irritable, hungry and gives me insomnia.
I can't make it over 100mg because I start to experience gum and teeth issues.
I love the sleep that 40mg of Geodon gives me, but I worry about the heart palps. They kick in about 3 hours after I take it and thats it. But the next day I feel great and have lots of energy.
My doc wanted me to take just 20mg, but oddly, that made me depressed. I don't understand why 40mg would work and 20mg would make me depressed.
Oh well. I guess I can't worry about 20 years down the road. I need to worry about making today happy.
I'll talk to my doc about upping the dose.
I wish it were as easy as popping an SSRI and breezing on down the road!
