> 75 mg/day?
Yea 75mg for ~3weeks now. Off Nuvigil for 2.5 and don't think I'm still w/ding from that (unless it changed things after a year of use).
Severe w/d dropping lamictal from 150 to 100 a few days ago (slept almost all day yesterday) but kinda expected that. Think I'm on the other side there.
Metformin seems to be helping but I've been so uptight about which generic works. Currently taking Teva ER and I think ill stick with it. Smooth release I think (Sun ER seemed to make me depressed a couple times a day so I think it's time release was really just twice vs gradually over hrs). Weight this morning was 218.3 so up 1.4 since I started Nardil on Jan 25.
Mood sucks today though. Completed ED / no feeling / anorgasmia. Would be ok w that if I felt good. Marplan was never this bad. Bp is down but not more than Marplan put it. No standing up dizzy/light-headed.
So anyway today sucks. Probably feel that way about but due to the lamictal drop (it's always been tough for me). I tend to do better on 100 of lamictal though and since Nardil hasn't pushed through at 150 I'm hoping maybe it was the lamictal blunting it
I'd go to 90 on Nardil but won't see my doc for another month or so. He doesn't have a lot of patients on Nardil and I only started seeing him in Jan. Don't want to seem problematic. Part of me wants to try 90 w.o. consoltating but I'll hold here andtwiddle my thumbs hoping 75 + the drop in lamictal + metformin ER settle in an I get some consistent relief.
It's been a rollercoaster and not fun.
Thanks Scott for the follow-up.
