I remember, when titrating up, at 100 mg I suddenly got very anxious, and that was when I got on klonopin 3 mg/day.
A couple or more years later I realized my memory was seriously impaired -- clon seems to be particularly bad for memory & cognition -- so switched to diazepam. By then I was on Cymbalta, which was a much better AD for me. Initially 60 mg diazepam / day, got down to 20 mg fairly quickly, but have had trouble getting below that.
Cymbalta's not covered by my drug plan, so now Im on Cipralex/Lexapro 10-20 mg and Wellbutrin 37.5-75 -- still experimenting -- and no lamotrigine. I really don't seem to need a mood stabilizer, my mood swings are either fairly "normal" cyclothymic or BPIII -- medication induced.
