I'm on 1200mgs/Trileptal, 30mgs/Abilify, 400mgs/Wellbutrin SR, and 100mgs/Lamictal. I'm doing much, much, much better than before, and I'm quite pleased with my combination. I also do Orthomolecular with the prescribed drugs. I think the OM reduces symptoms/problems that remain after the prescription drugs and the vitamins seem to prevent some adverse effects I've had in the past (EPS and neuroleptic induced dysphoria, for instance).
I have some lingering depression, and I'm wondering if 200mgs/Lamictal would be a good idea. My psychiatrist said he goes up to 600mgs/Lamictal, which is most definitely not something I'm interested in at this point, but it is good to know I haven't maxed it out.
I just don't "get" Lamictal. Its not an antidepressant, but it helps depression and overall mood stability (?). I don't want to turn into a zombie, but I do want to get some of the obsessive traits and low mood taken care of, preferably by using the treatments I'm already prescribed.
Thanks.
