It doesn't mix well with SSRI for me. Angry and strangely depersonalized. I felt more alienated after a week or so.
With just the Lamictal and wellbutrin I felt a definite and fast improvement in mood! I wasn't really feeling anxious from it (unless I didn't take my lamictal, which really stopped it from being edgy and nervous), and it didn't address social anxiety the way an SSRI will. But I was pretty racy in my head and getting quick tempered. I would try to work with clients and I kept getting so caught up in other trains of thought I felt like I was leaving the room.
Today was my first day off it for maybe 10-14 days or so. I was very sad throughout the day but I felt more still and able to maintain conversations and complete dull tasks (re: work) without total distraction. I talked to my mom for an hour without biting her head off which is what was also happening on celexa. I'm thinking this is like a hypomanic reaction to ADs
So now, do I endure another day of sadness and suicidal thinking or take WB and become quick tempered and unable to concentrate at work, yet not depressed?
I'm wondering if a small dose of Latuda would chill out the agitation and help with the social anxiety that WB doesn't. It would be nice to replace the lamictal if it's not working.
I do feel very still on just the lamictal, but I think it puts me in a place where I'm just left with obsessive thinking and no sociability, joy, or interests. meh.
