> Thanks Everyone .... Colin, I remember reading about your Lamictal experience .... it is sooooo frustrating. Feels great for a couple of days, then crash! Can I ask you what in addition to trileptal is helping you? Thanks, Smith
Hi Smith,
I'd been on Trileptal 900mg for quite a while, and this has provided excellent stability,
although again the dosing has been tricky- any more than 900mg aggravates my depression, causes headaches and general malaise.
Also,Trileptal has allowed me to tolerate 60mg Prozac, which has greatly eased my depression and helped ease my(ever-persistent)dysphoric bouts.
I had to resort to adding just 25mg Lamictal recently(depression), and I'm dropping the Prozac to 40mg to balance things out.
Helps a lot so far. We'll see.
Just keep fiddling around and try keeping a mood chart, so you can see which med is causing what response.I find that helpful too.Best,
Col.
