I'm having a really hard time, and I wanted some feedback before I go see my pdoc on Monday.
I'm taking 150 mg of zoloft and 300mg morning and night of lithium.
I think I'd like to try to get the zoloft down to 50mg. I want to try to add an anticonvulsant probably neurontin or lamictal, but I'm not sure which would be better.
I'm having a really hard time sleeping--I nap in the afternoon and calm down and then can't sleep most of the night and I have terrible headaches throughout most of the day, though they wax and wane. My concentration is pretty bad, and I'm very anxious.
I've read that some people use neurontin for headaches too. I do have a bipolar dx. I'm worried about being sedated and tired which would make one think that lamictal might be better, but I've also read that neurontin has anxiolytic antiagitation properties. And I guess that tehre have even been cases of hypomania w/neurontin.
Thoughts?
