Hi Alathea -
I too am clean and sober (6 years.) I take 50mg of seroquel in the evening to sleep. It may help me with daily aggitation as well. It is non narcotic, not a benzodiazapine (sp?) I find it very difficult in the "program" to talk about all of these issues. Most people don't really understand depression or bi-polar and are all to willing to judge the taking of meds/drugs. Here in L.A. there are large factions of AA that believe if you take any meds at all for depression, you are no longer sober. You can imagine how angry this makes me.And Delna,
I agree dosage is important for everyone. For me 300mg Lam is necessary. It's just different for everyone, as are which meds each person can tolerate. I suppose we all have different chemical make-ups, which is why this disease is so hard to treat.-Dalilah
> Dalilah--I am so glad to know that somebody else has that reaction to Wellbutrin, and hopefully Lamictal will be the answer for me too. I just wish there was something a little bit sedating that I could take to deal with the irritability at least during during the transition, but I can't take anything like that because I've been clean and sober for three years and, well....I'd like to keep it that way.
