Hey there Ron,Good to see you're making steady progress still-
2.5mg every four days eh??I'd read that this stuff is best taken at spaced intervals throughout the week ,so obviously there's something in that;I think it's pretty unique in it's lasting effects(I liked it too, but as I said,it was a little too overpowering combined with Lamictal).
I guess you got some irritability taking in on alternate days?Seems you have it nailed down anyhow, so let's hope the effects last consistently.
Oddly, I've found that the dreaded Prozac has been pretty astounding with the Lamictal.It has smoothed out my mood(s),and made me far more sociable(Lamictal got me out of a 2year stupor,and got me socializing again, and Prozac goes the extra mile, and makes me *feel* like socializing).Helps with the SAD too.
It's early days yet, but I'm hoping to add a small dose of lithium shortly, as an extra safeguard.I've realized that there's no way on earth I'll ever get by without an AD, so I've just had to accept it(and any inherant risks).
No signs at all of hypomania, so fingers crossed here.Keep in touch,
Col.
ps.how's Amy??
