I've tried Lamictal twice. Both times I got the "rash" early on so I can't go that route :(

I did see my pdoc on Monday and he wasn't too keep on neither Zonegran or Remeron. He had heard of the former but didn't see a reason why it would be helpful in my situation. Remeron he seemed indifferent about but again it wasn't what he thought was best.

We ended up agreeing on Lithum 900mg (300mg less), Neurontin 1800 (doubled), Provigil (200mg), and Tofranil (75mg).

The only one I've never been on before is the Tofranil and so far (3 days of use) it seems to be helping. I definitely needed something for my depression so the Tofranil + Provigil comobo is what we're trying.

I'm not sure if the Neurontin is helping all that much (very hard to tell). So that's something I plan to talk to my pdoc about. Something is also effecting my libido and that's bugging me a bit being 29.

I meeting up w/ the doc again next Wednesday (he wants to be sure I'm OK). I think I'll have a better idea as to how this current "cocktail" is working for me. At the moment the libido issue and a bit of brain fog (I think that's probably the Neurontin) are my main concerns. I'm hoping these issues will pass but if not at least I'm not depressed at the moment.....

Thanks for the discussion Med_empowered - appreciate it.
