In reply to depakin+lithium+lamictal....too much?, posted by lukh on February 23, 2009, at 5:44:03
Hi Luca.
Welcome.
What is your diagnosis and symptoms?
Do you rapid cycle?
For some bad cases of bipolar disorder, it is not uncommon for someone to need 3 mood stabilizers, especially when rapid-cycling is involved.
Lamictal can make some people feel sleepy at first. It should disappear eventually.
You are taking a lot of drugs, but it is not unhealthy. If you begin to feel better, you might be able to discontinue one or two of them. If depression is your main problem, I think you can increase the dosage of the Efexor.
