Hi Ron,
Thank you so much for your post. It was good to see your name again.
I have stayed off recreational drugs since August. I had a close call a month ago. I smoked some cigarrettes for a couple days and had that euphoric recall thing. I have too much at stake to ever go down that road again. The depression that followed was too much. I don't want to want to die ever again.
I have cut back the Lamictal from 200 to 100 a day and am feeling a lot better. Of course, I am entering the better part of the month for me, so I don't know if the dose reduction is the answer.
Yes, Ron I have tried Trileptal for a brief period before I started Lamictal. I probably stopped taking it because I was really in need of an effective antidepressant other than an ssri, you know why.
Once on Lamictal, I never looked back until now.
Ron, sorry to hear you don't or can't post until February. Great to hear from you. Let's all keep in contact. Another person I'm interested in talking to is BarbaraCat. I haven't seen her in a while. I think she and I have a lot in common.
Hopefully Colin will chime in soon.
Bye Ron, take care, talk to you soon.
Amy
