Judy, I am currently only taking lamictal and sometimes xanax. The xanax seems to help because of the numbing effects. My pdoc called in Topamax, but I am afraid to try it because I tried one pill awhile back and it drugged me so much I didn't want to take it. Not sure how much she had me try, but I have the lowest dose only to take once a day. Neurontin was awful. I was on 100mg and felt drowsy and agitated. I can't take anti-depressants especially the ones that affect the libido. I take estrogen and testosterone as a replacement therapy. I had a hysterectomy 3 years ago, because my late mother had ovarian cancer. I am only 37. Serzone gave me headaches and I tried wellbutrin, however, I thought I might try serzone again. Prozac was great before I had my oopharectomy. I loved the high mania and the almost absent depression. I wish I could take it. I am married and have 3 kids and a very nympho husband, but I have to admit the testosterone has given me the desire that I always wanted and would lack if I only took estrogen. Getting old is crappy.
