Hi all.
After being on Lamictal for about 6 months I can definitely feel it pooping out. This is the first AE I have tried but on average an AD would last me 6-18 months before pooping out. Looks like the same rules apply.
I need something that "energizes" me, helps with depresssion and *NOT CAUSE SEXUAL DYSFUNCTION*!!!!
Although I have PD Xanax takes care of the anxiety quite well but it does not fix my chronic fatigue or depression (these two are very closely linked with me: I don't have one without the other).Please don't suggest Wellbutrin or Remeron: they both gave me sexual dysfunction. Some people have suggested selegiline. Since it is an MAOI do dietary restrictions apply? If so, at what dose: can a stimulatory and antidepressant effect occur at levels below those requiring dietary changes? I already have to adhere to a fairly strict diet and don't want to shrink it any further.
Has anyone experienced positive results with stimulants or more way out stuff like Naltrexone? I know opiates have been discussed a lot here lately but I doubt they will be appropriate for me because of their known anti-libido effects.
Is a feeling of wellbeing AND a sexlife too much to ask for?!? I hate having to make the choice *between* them all the time!
Thanks for your help.
