Well, thanks. That was all great advice. I did know about the rash and that depakote + lamictal equals an increase of something in the body but wasn't exactly sure. My doctor said to give it a week, and he set me up with a 4-week titrating sampling package. I think it's 25mg/day for week 1 and 2, then 50mg/day for week 2 and 3, then 100mg/day for week 5 (then a prescription). Hope that's not too much? I definitely think it will be a good change as far as the mood and depression goes, but I don't want to be snappy or irritable (I guess I'm more afraid of the "emotional sensitivity" to everything) I don't mind being a bit drab, but I don't want little silly things getting to me that normally shouldn't.. I hope not, because I work in a restaurant and my day is full of those kinds of events, and right now, I am go with the flow.
I have a scrip for Klonopin 1mg/day and I only use .5mg/day, and only on days I work.. so perhaps if I notice some increased irritability I take a little extra? Anyway thanks for all your help. It was great, Psycho bab rocks!
Take care,
Charlie
