Thanks for your input!
Lamictal made me ill both times i tried it and topamax was the worst in sedation (i tried it at various doses for about 6 months). - go figure. :)
AD's I've tried (that I can recall):
Celexa - didn't SEEM to do much
Welbutrin - could not tolerate at all - i was a BITCH - sorry, B**** ;)
Prozac - worked BUT this is where i, and pdoc, realized that the AD's were causing mania.
I think there were one or two others... hmmm, memory has suffered.i think my pdoc was loathe to have me on a stabilizer w/o an ad, but it seems to be the best thing thus far. i certainly can't be on an ad w/o a "heavy" stabilizer (neurontin was too mild) - i get suicidal. it's all so interesting.
Interesting, too, about the Dexedrine. I'm learning one's Dr. really has to be willing to listen to the patient and not follow the 'common' reactions to things. I seem to fall into an "odd reaction" category.
I, too, am going to try and stick this combo out for a little while. Since the Depakote provides stability, I plan on playing with the Ritalin dose and give it a fair run.
took two 5mg tablets closer together today and am now feeling better.
