LAMICTAL below 100mg(best anti-depressant on earth but taper slowly. I would take more for great AD effect but cognitive dulling occurs over 100mg). Take it slow with this drug and you won't experience side effects. Augment it with Namenda to keep the dose down. They are synergistic together. Very few psychiatrists, very few, know this yet. Not even sure if it can be found via a Google Search.

Whatever you do, make sure to get brand name Lamictal. If your insurance won't cover brand, you're in luck b/c Jan Drugs in Canada sells GSK brand Lamictal for a ridiculously low cost. Totally legit too. I took 3 months to build up to 50mg but had noticeable AD effects even at 5mg. I now take between 30-50 mg spread throughout the day in 5mg chewable tablets. I found the chewable tablets to be the superior formula for whatever reason...prob b/c they are absorbed sublingually. They hit fast and sort of work like Klonopin wafers but with a nice semi-euphoric mood lift.

Klonopin wafers for social anxiety. Klonopin actually allows me not to be emotionally flat which I would otherwise be b/c of excessive anxiety that i've had since embryo. Klonopin does cause major cognitive dulling but this can be counteracted with exercise, good nutrition, a stimulant like Nuvigil or with anti-cholinergics like Aricept and Namenda. Been on special K for 5 years and my brain is as good as it ever was. Probably has something to do with the ESAM patch I take which doesn't cause emotional flattening either.
