> Laurie,
> Agree totally with everything you said on your post. I get to see my pdoc once every 8 weeks for about 20 minutes and it's because of this board that I've challenged my original dx, rediagnosed myself and finally received appropriate medication. Now I'm considering adding lamictal to my Remeron and lithium brew, mainly because I don't want to increase the lithium (I'm not in the therapeutic range) and because of the purported AD effects. So keep us informed of how the lamictal trial goes for you. Without this board and the wonderful combined efforts of all, I'd still be gulping massive amounts of SSRI's and getting more and more depressed. - BarbaraCatBarbaraCat,
What a great attitude!
I'm curious: if Remeron and Lithium can be taken together, I'm presuming that they aren't very similar compounds (in the way that SSRIs, for example, are similar). I've used many different cocktail regimens, but typically they crossed categories (Wellbutrin with Serzone or Celexa for example.) Is taking them together why you're staying beneath the therapeutic range for the lithium?
Thanks again for your message. The "tone" made my morning!
Laurie
