Sorry to get this out so late but it really seems like the 11th hour was unavoidable
Have to report to pdoc tomorrow 3pm

Hes cut my

WB300xl to WB150xl(thinks its causing me to cycle)
Cut Ambien to .5mg (Not sure why)
Added Lamictal 25m Helps wfibro/ he increased

2 days in to week
WB 150 is working minumally like before he cut it in half
Started
Lamictal, some SE not unbearable
Increase
neurontin 600mg PM 300mg AM

3 Day of week depression is increasing and leathargy is stting in and incredible headache.

4 day headaches begin, call office, told to cut Lamc25mg in half.

5 day 12.5 mg Lamc no headache, mania starts, fast thoghts fast driving, fast talking and moving

6 day the same could not sleep even with meds

7 day, increased Lamic back to 25 mg
repeat day 5, slightly more aggitation

8 day Lamictal 25mg. - 5 mins. screaming at kids, complete aggitation

9 day Full Lam WB and Neurontin-- thoghts stilling racing aggravating others Take 1 mg Klonpin
9 day pm started to feel depressed.


If you read this far thank you
please in the vast expereience out here, I feel like Im moving in the wrong direction.This last manic cycle ws the most aggitated Ive had for a long time.
If I have to titrate up 12.5 mg of Lamictal at a time It will take a long time to "see" if it is the right med.
I am frightend at the thought of no activation, of course I dont want it to be irratable aggitation but I get my work done.
I took two ambien and two neurontin 1 hour ago and I am not sleeping. Defiantely dont want to drop the ambien

Before this new regiemn the WB was going welland pooped out.
I am definately cycling and was csausing anxity, but this has been the most severe cycle in months
ANY and ALL advice wecome

You may want to add omega 3 fatty acids (in the form of fish oil) 3-6 grams a day of fish oil, has been shown to greatly help the negative, antimotivational aspects of depression.

It may not be a cure, but for something that is excellent for the body in many other ways, it is worth looking harvards studies on their relation to mood disorders. I found O3 augmentation greatly helpful.
