Hello! I am new to this board although I have been reading posts the last couple of weeks. Like many others, I am SO GLAD this is here. There is so very little information out there on cyclothymia.
I was diagnosed a couple of months ago and was first put on Lamictil. I loved it, but, broke out in a rash. My pdoc took me off of that and tried Topamax, I hated it. I was only on it for 9 days but, I was spaced out, REALLY tired and no appetite at all.
I just saw the doc yesterday and she wants me to come back in 2 weeks to be sure all the med's are out of my system. She wants to try Neurotin next.
I am currently also taking Effexor, have been on that for a couple of years now and it works great for my anxiety.Is there anyone that also takes Effexor and Neurotin? If so, how did adding the Neurotin help? Side effects? I'm nervous about starting the new med beings that I had so much trouble with the Topamax.
Thanks!
