Hi Matt :-)
How is your depression today?
>I'm going to stay on the Effexor, don't worry about that, and I'll cut the Lamictal back to 600mgs.
Please stay on 150mg Effexor and 600mg Lamictal! Don't make *any* changes for at least a month! Take 75mg Effexor in the morning and 75mg in the evening.
>BUT, what do you think about the suggestion to add Remeron.
If Effexor alone isn't enough, adding Remeron might help, but not for at least 6 weeks, OK?! :-)
>How about putting either Anafrinil, Luvox or Wellbutrin into the mix? I wouldn't even consider making any of these changes any time soon (TRUST ME), but I'd like your opinion now anyways.
Adding Anafranil or Luvox wouldn't really make sense. Effexor is intensely serotonergic in its own right. Wellbutrin + Effexor can often provide additional relief of depression, but often at the cost of increased anxiety.
>Hope you're virus is on the way out.
I'm fatigued...... and now I've got a cough too!
Love
Ed
