> I want to remain on the Paxil, as it has done wonders in the past for my depression, social anxiety, ruminating thoughts, etc., but I'm no longer sure about the Lamictal. Could the addition of Paxil somehow be affecting the Lamictal, and the combo is too activating? I'm not even sure I'm expressing this correctly. HELP! Thanks.
Hi Janelle,
I understand you perfectly because i'm experiencing a similar situation. I take Effexor XR + Lamictal and God it is stimulating... As i said before on this board, Lamictal acts indirectly on dopamine and can become highly "activating" with an antidepressant. Or may be you simply experience a bad synergy from Lamictal and Paxil together? Anyway i suggest you call your pdoc for an ajustment. And it would be a very good idea to decrease your Lamictal to 50 mg a day.
My humble opinion!
