In reply to Do your meds 'stop working'?, posted by Penny on June 30, 2003, at 14:03:56
The only medication I could speak to in your cocktail is Lamitcal. I augmented Lamitcal with Parnate about 3 months ago. I had the best response to a med that I have had in 25 years.
I felt great for about 2 weeks and then it seemed to stop working. I am still not as depressed as I was and remain very functional as opposed to lying in bed all day. It was just such a tease.
My pd doc upped the dose and I will see what happens.A lot of others here have also had the same experience with Lamitcal. Perhaps you could talk to your doctor about removing some of the meds. I have never taken more that 2 at a time and I don't understand how anyone can really know what one works and what one doesn't. Many take Lamitcal as their only med.
I do know for me that the very worst med that I ever took was Wellbutrin.
I don't have the answer to the complicated workings of all of the meds and combos and I really do not think doctors do either. Just trial and error and hoping for the best.
