That said, you know I understand about not sticking with it. I've gone through periods where it was a miracle if I made it past day three. Looking back, I'm thankful I had someone to encourage me through that period, so that I could get to the benefits of some of these drugs. And I made it through several month on Lamictal, and even gave it a full three weeks at 200mg before I decided it wasn't worth it. Sure, it's frustrating when that happens -- but it's also sometimes necessary in order to find what really does work. I know you know all this.
Good luck, Link. I hope you find something that helps.
