>I hate to bring this up but some case studies show Lamictal worsens OCD symptoms in patients who are also bipolar.
Thanks Eric. Worsening OCD/depression can be the case with almost all anti convulsants and AAPs. Thankfully in my case Lamictal does the opposite.
>You're on more than enough antidepressants to combat the OCD effectively. Perhaps you need to try different antidepressants.
Could be true but in order to try Brintellix or Viibryd I'd have to come off some of my ADs which I don't feel strong enough to do right now. My pdoc is not a fan of pindolol's effectiveness. Riluzole has been the most powerful anti depressant/anti OCD medicine I have tried however I couldn't put a sentence together while I was on it unfortunately.
I have been on lithium for the 3 weeks now and added 5 mgs of zyprexa (always helped with anxiety not so much with depression) they seem to be having an anti depressant response so I am keeping my fingers crossed it will hold.
