Hello all, been awhile.
I had an appointment with my pnp today. I'm currently at 200mgs of lamictal. I've mentioned multiple times that the lamictal is indeed working to control my mood issues, but it's making me feel unmotivated, tired and kind of stupid.
Now things get a bit tricky. She asked if I wanted to stop the lamictal (hahaha...no). I asked if I could go back on wellbutrin. Due to an allergic reaction I had when I was on wellbutrin a few weeks no one really knows if I'm allergic to it (or the dye, or maybe something completely unrelated). She was originally on board with me trying wellbutrin again, but today seemed extremely apprehensive.
She told me to check with my pharmacy tomorrow and see what colors the various forms of wellbutrin come in, then to call her.
But due to the way she reacted I'm feeling really unsure about the whole thing.
She had also mentioned on my last visit and also this one that a low dose of ritalin could do the job.
So my option really come down to three things.
1: try the wellbutrin anyways.
2: bring up the ritalin (which I'm not sure I feel comfortable just straight up asking about even though she originally suggested it)
3: finding something else that could have an activating effect (vivactil anyone?)
