In reply to Lamictal Any positive experiences?, posted by never2late on February 27, 2012, at 22:59:11
I've been on Lamictal for 6 years. It saved my life! You are on a lot of drugs if you are adding Lamictal on top of all that. The stimulants could be causing some of the agitation and irritability.
What's your diagnosis. It doesn't really matter in the long run but it matters depending on how your doc is forming a med strategy. Effexor is the most know antidepressant to induce mania and you sound like you could be having some dysphoric type mania or hypopmania. Putting Lamictal on top of it may calm things down and hit the sweet spot but I still think you need to look at the ritalin if you go through your days thinking everyone is annoying and stupid. Stimulant can cause mania and irritability too.
