lamictal +prozac/prozac onset of action

Posted by n_shrimpie on December 30, 2011, at 21:08:13

I'd been on lamictal for 6 months. At first it worked extraordinarily well as an antideppressant and for my mild bipolar. After about 6 months, it stopped working completely, so i stopped taking it and started feeling better for 3 mos then i needed to restart it. It worked for a while, then stopped again, but i stayed on it because going off it, even for a day, sent me into the abyss. if i don't take it for 2 days, i'm miserable, but when i restart, it works for 2 days then stops again. I think I get desensitized to it.

I added 20 mg of prozac on 10/27, and after a month i was unable to have sex and it wasn't working, so i stopped. Oddly enough, after a week off of it I started feeling much better. My cognitive faculties and sex drive returned, and my anhedonia dissipated for the first time in many months. This went on until 12/20, and then, in the course of one day, i went back to ground zero, so i restarted on 12/21, felt great on 12/23, then the anhedonia returned on 12/24. why did i feel the best when it was leaving my system? Did it take 5 weeks to start working even though i'd only taken it for 4? It worked when it was leaving my system and my blood levels decreased, so maybe i need less, like 10mg? i feel so hopeless, i cannot function, i can't work, I spend 7 hours a day in bed, i'm numb and I can't think clearly or read.
