I discontinued Lamictal a few weeks ago because it was making me so tired and I had no response from it. First I took it with nortriptyline+Remeron and later with Zoloft+Remeron. I tried this for several months, but nothing. Nortrip+Rem was the combo I last crashed on, about five-six months ago. So I abandoned Lamictal before Wellbutrin, so to speak.
>I would be most interested to see how Remeron + Wellbutrin works out for you.
Yes, I agree. But maybe I could keep Zoloft in my regime for a while. That would be 15mg Remeron + 300mg Wellbutrin and 50mg of Zoloft.
>What has been your experience with tricyclics and MAOIs?
No MAOIs, I have tried nortrip and clomipramine, I have responded to both. I tried clomipramine years ago but quit in quest for a med with better aim, it has a pretty disturbing s/e profile.
For me the dopaminergic effect of Lamictal was transitory, lasted a few days after each dose increase. Speaking of Stahl, MD. He recommends adding Remeron to Wellbutrin for residual depressive symptoms. Anyway, I could just add 15mg of Remeron to my existing combo and see what happens, I can always ditch Zoloft later, what do you think?
