My doctor mentioned to me today that Campral could benefit me as I reacted so well to Riluzole and have tolerated Lamictal for years which has helped. Riluzole unfortunately caused me to not be able to put a sentence together so I had to discontinue it however I have never had such a powerful anti depressant response as well as a decrease in anxiety. I tried namenda but that made my depression much worse. Lamictal is a solid piece of my medication cocktail. I am on 3 anti depressants, buspar 90mg, zoloft 150mg and remeron 60mg and am a non responder.
We were discussing the theory that my ocd/depression is a result of excitatory neurotransmitters needing to be quelled rather than a depletion of neurotransmitters that I need more of a supply of. Just a theory of course. My depression/ocd is such crippling anxiety that it causes my mood to plummet. I genuinely think in that what came first the chicken or the egg term, in this case ocd/anxiety came first and the depression was a by product.
My question is does anyone have experience with Campral and if so what side effects occurred? I see a side effect is depression which terrifies me. Penny for your thoughts.
