Hi- I am on 200mg/lamictal, 20mg paxil, 32mg concerta and 1mg klonopin for sleep. i have been feeling extreme lassitude and indifference. i don't feel like the same person anymore. i don't want to be with my boyfriend, don't want to climb, whihc is my ultimate obsession in life and don't want to shop. i'm agitated and pissed off after work and i take it out on every one. work is the only time i feel okay. i have absolutely no sex drive. i want to be happy, to feel again and am considering going off everything all together save the klonopin. by the way, since starting the paxil i have a strong urge to drink. i drink every night now. it is the only time i feel any sort of emotion. i really need some advice. i would almost rather be just on antidepressants again. at least then i had emotions. please tell me what you think. i'm very desperate about this. thank you so much for your consideratioin.

hello there, chemist here...my opinion is that the lamictal is bringing you down, not the klonopin. i would talk to your doctor about keeping the other meds and reducing lamictal. please keep us informed, all the best, chemist

Just curious. Why do you suspect the Lamictal? I assume you added your meds one at a time? Did most of your problems (besides the urge to drink) begin when your started Lamictal?
