>>..Happened upon some reading about insomnia since I have started taking Mg. It has really helped anxiety, but started to affect my sleep and hence increased fatigue and depression. I am experimenting with dosage/time/food and it seems to help. Still on the lamacital and prozac? Is it working well for you? Are you still excercising?

Hi there Johnny Boy,

Sorry, I missed this post somehow...must have been recovering from one of my shandy induced hangovers!
I took magnesium for a while too, but got little if any effect from it-I brought my anxiety to heel some time ago,it's just the depression/SAD/swings that continue to plague me, although to a much lesser extent now that the weather's improved here.
Are you still persevering with the lithium/TCA/tranxene(?) combination,or has your doc. come up with any other innovations?
I'm surprising myself with the ease with which I'm tolerating 10mg Prozac with my 300mg Lamictal-it feels like an entirely different drug, with the Lamictal 'filtering' all the unwanted side-effects(except,er,maybe a little floppiness, but my imaginary girlfriend , Gertrude, is quite sympathetic!!)Socializing now for the first time in 3 years, without having to really force myself to go outside.Getting plenty of female attention too, 'cos now I even smile occasionally and bother my arse to speak to people!I still don't have a job, but I'm in no rush to plunge into that just yet either.
If you do venture over this side of the puddle, give me a yell and we can go visit Ron's new gogo bar in Kings Cross, London....

Take care,

Col.
