> Only stim I've tried is ritalin IR and it doesn't do anything for me. I definitely felt better when the drug wore off this evening. It makes me feel a little more blunted as well.

> I want to go back to school but I know I won't be able to do a master's until my motivation comes back. I'm considering asking about taking 2.5 mg prozac with this to help with motivation. I just don't know what to do. I have a temp job thats ending soon and I'll just sit around at home bored out of my mind ugh. I would like to add prozac, but if it starts working how do i know if its the prozac or lamictal? I guess I would know if it was just the prozac since I have taken that alone before and know how it makes me feel.Talked to my doctor about this today and he tends to be very open when I ask him about sides.Your comment about forums like this giving you a negative spin on a med is unfortunate. I started a thread about forums like this.
1. People who have had positive experiences with meds don't seek out forums like this.
2. People who achieve remission tend to leave forums such as this one.
3. So that leaves treatment resistant people who have had bad experience and med failures here.
4. So be aware that the amount of actual negative experiences will be far less in reality than what is being reported here.
5. Almost any drug that you come here for info will give you a much skewed report on negative incidents.
6. Maybe you need to find a p-doc who you trust and is talanted and follow him/her for med advice. I can assure you that 10 minutes after looking up a drug here you will be deflated and think everyone who tried the drug either failed on it or almost died from sides.
7. I myself have made the same mistake. Find a good doc and take the meds they prescribe and see how things work out. You can always stop a med trial. I know how you feel as I have made the same mistake.
