> If the Lamictal was working, why did you stop? Are you taking a different mood stabilizer now?

Hi theo, I quit the Lamictal because it was exacerbating my anxiety,causing me more sleep problems than I already had and my pdoc was not willing to compromise in cutting the dose to 100mg instead of 200mg per day to see if I could still get some benefits. To him it was all or nothing at all. Right now all I am taking is Effexor, Valium, and Gabatril. If Gabatril is considered a mood stabilizer at all, I am not sure what it is doing. Other than the fact that I just got finished having 6 ECT treatments-I think that and the Gabatril may be co-contributing to my long standing depressive symptoms of cognitive stupidity. I swear that somewhere along the way, that someone came in and stole 30 to 40 pts. off my IQ! It is so frustrating. Sorry about long reply. I hope I answered your question adequetley. I am just so sick of all this BS.Where and how does one separate side effects from meds from the original symptoms of depressive illness?
