> Are you taking tamoxifen or another med after the cancer treatment. If you are do they cause depression? I do wish you more than luck in finding the proper dose of lamictal. And surely you need sleep to heal. If a benzo worked in past maybe since if I read correctly you have been off them for years a return to ativan may work well again. Phillipa
No not yet, but I will be on that and similar drugs later. For now the chemo shuts down the ovaries. I was having wild swings at first-- actually more hypmania than depression. Now the lamictal has dampened down the ups and did seem to be preventing the lows as well.
When I was not on psych meds I slept well enough with melatonin or else nothing.
