OK, I am taking 200 mg of Lamictil a day. I was on antidepressants for a while, and this is all for an eating disorder that has some suspected comorbid disorders like a mood disorder and anxiety. I am pre-med and entering my senior year of college. My courses are extrememly difficult, and in the past, even in relatively difficult courses, I have never received below an A. I am afraid that the Lamactil is affecting me at a crucial time. Do any of you think that it would decrease academic performance? That scares me very much because GPA is important, and I have always wanted to go into medicine. I guess it is quite possible now that the eating disorder could indirecty ruin my life-long aspiration. I am very scared. Any thoughts? I suppose reverting back to SSRI's is a possibility, but I hate that idea because I absolutely CANNOT acheive an orgasm if I take more than 25 mg (of Effexor), which is a worthless dose. I am thinking of asking my psychiatrist on Thursday if she will consider starting me on adderall. Did that help you "detroitpistons?"
Thanks everyone,
Amanda
