Lamictal

Posted by repop on September 15, 2005, at 21:02:46

I'm bipolar ll with mostly depression. My pdoc gave me lamictal, which is ok, but leaves me a bit hazy and tired. Is Wellbutrin a good choice as a second drug to add for more focus and energy?
Thanks

 

I take both, for what it's worth (nm)

I think it's worth a try. It didn't seem to work very well for my ADD symtoms, but it helps some people. I am having better results with Provigil 400 mg per day for ADD, and to combat the Lexapro tiredness (at 40 mg).

Lexapro works very well for my anxiety and depression, but at 40 mg I have sexual side effects. I am currently reducing the Lexapro dose and starting on Lamictal.
