> Actually I've decided not to try the combo. The benefits of prozac + buspar are minimal. I'd rate it a 3 out of 10. Hopefully lamictal will start to do something soon, or I will just try something else.
How long have you been at your lamictal dose? I hope it helps you feel better soon. Finding the right dose can be tricky. You mention memory and concentration problems, try to take as low a dose of lamictal to avoid that side effect. I didn't notice any problems myself at 200mgs. At 300mgs, I had some concentration issues but only for a few days after the increase.
If you're thinking about adding an SSRI, have you tried others besides prozac? At one time I was on a combo of 200mgs lamictal and 5mgs lexapro which worked very well for depression.
