In reply to From Nortriptyline to Lamictal and feeling bad, posted by Zoy on October 28, 2002, at 15:21:21
Well...I find it odd your doc switched, instead of combining. And, it seems the symptoms are more with the Lamactil, as that is what I experienced, and I read many others did, with it. All's I think it will do is make you go from feeling wired from the Nortiptyline to depressed and tired on the Lamactil.
I'd say either stay with the Nortiptyline, add another mood stablizer like Depakote, or maybe even Lithium, and use a good dose of a benzo to wean you onto the meds until the side effects subside.
Best wishes,
Jay
