> Currently:
> 400mg nefazadone
> 50mg lamictal
> 25mg seroquel to counteract insomniaThe first thing I noticed is that your dosage of Lamictal is rather low. Numerous studies and my personal experience with this drug is that 200mg is optimal. As long as you have been taking 50mg for at least 2 weeks, you can move right up to 100mg. Why was nefazodone chosen? What antidepressants have you tried? What dosages? How long?
Is morning the worst time for you?
Do you have trouble sleeping after 3:00am?
Do you feel as if your movements are slowed down?
Do you speak noticeably slowly?
Have you lost weight?
Do you dwell on or have intrusive negative or melancholic thoughts.
* I doubt you will be condemned to live in a depressive state for years on end. There are simply too many effective drugs and combinations of drugs not to remain optimistic.
