> Thanks Ritch. That's the problem..I don't know which med is causing the anxiety! That's why most people do better starting a mood stabilizer without an AD and THEN add the AD after a few weeks on the mood stabilizer. I don't know why my doctor started both at the same time. Also, I'd rather get by with only two meds, since 3 would complicate things even more. Ritch, you should get a Babblemail account! I wish I could email you privately since you seem to really know your stuff.
All the stuff I talk about comes mostly from my personal anecdotal experiences which vary quite a bit from others.. so that needs to be taken with a grain of salt. As far as the mail thing goes.. I don't want to get *too* immersed in all of this-I'm obsessive enough with meds as it is :) As far as the anx. goes.. what does your pdoc say about it-that it will go away.. or just startup effects of Lam, i.e.?
