Hi everyone,
I need some help here. I saw my new pdoc last Tuesday, and was at 200 mg lamictal, along with 1.5 mg xanax, and 2 or 300 mg neurontin as needed. He suggested I go up on lamictal to 300, as I was still exper some depressive symptoms. I got up to 250 mg and am now in an agitated, anxious, irritated depressed state, and haven't had a decent night's sleep for about 4 or 5 days. I am almost ready to re-start my zoloft or nortriptyline as I have to work and needless to say, depressive symptoms make that nearly impossible. Along with all of that, I don't want to eat.I know this prb has to do with the lamictal increase, but with the depressive symptoms there before the increase, doesn't it seem prudent to re-start my AD as I discontinued them altogether about a month ago. My pdoc is open to this, I just don't want to have to contact him about which one to re-start as I just had my appt. a week ago. I really had hoped that the lamictal would be my "monotherapy" med, but it looks bleak right now.
As always, thank you for yor feedback.
Linnette
