In reply to Lamictal - once a day okay?, posted by Cindylou on November 20, 2001, at 13:07:20
Hi,
Thanks both for your advice. I have another question for both of you ...Did you experience difficulty with Lamictal while titrating up? It seems as if the higher I get, the more irritable and agitated I get. I'm at the point now where the anxiety really gets out of control at times. (you should have seen me today waiting 2 hours with my toddler to get her photos taken ... nightmare!)
Klonapin doesn't seem to touch it, and if I try taking more Klonapin, it just knocks me out.
I'm also trying Serzone which helped at first, but now (five days into it) is making me feel very drugged feeling (a feeling I am all too familiar with from the myriad of other SSRIs and ADs I've tried).
After all that, my question for you guys is:
Is it worth keeping on with the Lamictal? I keep clinging to the hope that things will start to change when I hit 100 mg. That maybe I can stay at that level for a longer time and the anxiety effect will subside. (FYI - I just went up to 75 mg.)
Or should I just give up and move on to yet another trial?
Thanks in advance for your help and support.
