Dr Kramer: AED cocktails for BPII/NOS.

Posted by JahL on April 1, 2002, at 22:23:23

Dear Dr Kramer.
Another very treatment resistant individual with BP NOS, social phobia, derealisation. Tried in excess of 40 meds.
Another noted pdoc who sometimes frequents these pages suggested I exploit the synergy I enjoy from Lamictal & Klonopin (neither works alone; together they help moderately) and explore complex AED cocktails. ADs are a no-no; tried 15 or so & all worsened my depression (when they weren't briefly inducing euthymia).
Anecdotally, are there any AEDs (I've already added Keppra & Neurontin to no effect) that might be good candidates to add to Lamictal? Oxycarbamazepine? Tiagabine? Topiramate? Zonisamide???
I have read encouraging reports about Lamictal + VPA (which reduced SI when I took it alone) but I am concerned about the obvious interaction.
Do you have any thoughts?
Thanks for your time.
J.
