In reply to Mixing LAMICTAL With NARDIL ... Any experiences???, posted by UGottaHaveHope on July 19, 2009, at 14:21:04
> Some job changes triggered my GAD (Generalized Anxiety Disorder) and atypical depression. My pdoc has me on 45mg of Nardil, 50-75mg of Seroquel and 2-3mg of Klonopin. When I saw him last week, he added Lamictal. I have yet to start taking it, but am feeling a little better after bumping my Seroquel up from 45mg to 75mg about 10 days ago.

Why haven't you increased the dosage? Also, you might want to go up to 100mg on the Seroquel. For many people, the more they take, less the somnolence and the more the antidepressant effect.
I don't know why your doctor opted to begin treating you with Lamictal. You should ask him. He might know something we don't.
