> I'm off all AD's first time in 20 years. Just lamictal. NOT Cutting it. The second I fall asleep I jump awake shaking and sure that I am dying. Grinding my teeth, chewing my tongue, and I've stopped going to school and working out.

> Therapist and I are trying to do trauma work but it falls flat when I'm medicated. However there's no indication that talk therapy will even work. Not sure I'm willing to throw everything away for years of therapy that may or may not work.

> I'm considering adding Wellbutrin...any trauma people having success with it? I would take more lamictal but it affects my cognition and sleep.Wellbutrin made me extremely anxious. I like Zyprexa as it has a calming effect and is great for sleep. I fall asleep soon after taking it, I don't wake during the night, and I get up early feeling rested. Its murder on the waste line though.
