I had tried Lamitrogine for a few days only- it was too stimulating for me; maybe the brand name Lamictal is different? I haven't tried the brand name yet but I found the generic to be very stimulating for me. I don't know if there would be any difference.
I tried Tegretol for a few months a few years ago and I remember feeling sick the whole time I was on it. I recently tried generic Depakote for about 4 months and it made me extremely tired and I gained a lot of weight on it. I also tried Trileptal in the past- I don't remember it helping me. Yes, with the Depakote my mind wasn't as racy. I was on the lowest dose with Depakote- 500 mg's I think.
I was told by a few people that lithium causes weight gain and I'm already really overweight so I'm really hesitant to go on it.
Yes, I had a lot of scary side effects from the 36 mg Concerta I just tried, especially with the heart pain and racing, and I think that dose was too high, my psydoc should have tried me on the lowest dose first, which is 18 mg.Thank you,
Lisa
