In reply to buspar + lamictal?, posted by toolman on February 7, 2008, at 12:40:06
> Hi, I was wondering if anyone had any experience with this combination. I am basically GAD/bipolar with some slighty psychoid tendencies as well. I have been on many SSRI's over the years and none have had any effect whatsoever. My last psychiatrist put me on Seroquel, with Lamictal as a supplement. The Seroquel side-effects were too strong so I had to kick it(i would get up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom and have to lay down in the floor before I could make it back to the bed). Now I've kept the Lamictal and added Buspar. I also still take Xanax for acute episodes of anxiety. And the main thing I want is to find something that makes me less dependant on that.
First of all, welcome to Babble! It's always nice to see a new poster..I'm sure you'll get the answers to your questions here..there are many informed posters..
How much seroquel were you taking..were you taking it during the day or for sleep? I've never taken it during the day but it sure is magic for insomnia, for me anyway..
Keep posting..there are people here who can help and also whom you can help too..there are many boards, so feel free to roam around them and jump in..
