Lamictal - Valproate

Posted by Doo on March 14, 2001, at 23:04:34

Hello poeple,

I consider adding LAMICTAL to my Manerix (MAO inhibitor) and Neurontin mix, but first I'd like to know if it helps with dysphoria and/or ruminating thoughts. Any good (or bad) experiences to share?
Any experience with VALPROATE is also welcome

thank's,

Doo

Doo,

I have been taking depakote for about 2 years and it has *LOTS* of drug interactions, many severe. The side effects are mostly sleepiness and lethargy. In the beginning, I had a lot of headaches, but they eventually went away. Make sure you get blood tests regularly to make sure your liver is not getting damaged and that your dose is sufficient.

Valpoate is unlikely to significantly improve yr mood (I've just trialled it).

Lamactil on the other hand is reputed to have potent AD qualities for some & may eliminate yr dysphoria. At least this is my hope; I'm on 50mg & so good so far...
