i've gone up from 200mg-300mg-and now 400, i tell my doctor of anxiety with irrtibility....some how i wish i could be on ativan, but the doses of lamictal and prozac are nearly to the max....and its silly...someone in psych hospital would be on...with zyprexa too....
nuerontin she said would be used if anxiety gets bad....all the controlled substances are not an option, but max doses on the other meds....but in a way it is ok, because it spaces all the irrtibility and unstable emotions out
help?

Well Nuvigil is a stimulant. If you are irritable and anxious wouldn't the logical thing be to reduce the dose of that?

yea buts it the only thing to help with trying to feel awake...my doctor has confirmed she will not give me any amphetamine, or methyphenidate....but i am high doses of Lamotragine and Zyprexa to calm the hyperactivity down....its really annoying because all i need, even with my history of abuse, is that i do have bad problems with staying on track, conversations, rabbit trails, all that....
but yea thanks for the post...

FYI- along with my depression has been some agitation. My experience with lamictal was that it initially made me more agitated, but after the adjustment phase I believe it is the med that has actually helped my agitation.

How did you react to Wellbutrin?

i took it couple times in the past, it made me more alert but edge....felt sting....
i could try it again, but i would have to get the Nuvigil off...the nuvigil does work sometimes, but wellbutrin lasts all day, when i take nuvigil, if it oes work, it will have a 2 hour awake period and then it fades....wellbutrin xl lasts all day
thats a good idea....
thanks:)
