I have read (even on these forums) that some non-responders respond to higher doses of mirtazapine. I figure theres not harm in trying it.
Yeah I mean, if I had stayed on the lamictal, it is possible that after a few months on a steady therapeutic dose, I would have felt better. however, im starting Pharmacy school in a week and theres no way I couldve dealt with the cognitive dysfunction (even tho it doesnt seem to matter now because I have it anyway...) lol.
I have thought about trying keppra because I have heard it does not cause dysfunction (i love racetams!) and it can be helpful as an anxiolytic.
do you have any personal experience with keppra?
by the way, i found a thread on another site where a couple folks stated that it took months for their lamictal brain fog to go away after discontinuation of the drug.
