Glad to see the Tegretol is working for you. I think carbamazepine is a clear winner over oxcarbapazepine and probably eslicarbazepine. Wow, Lithium is amazing! I kinda wish I would have chosen it over Lamictal. I actually think it's a better drug, just as an IMO thing-- it's just that the blood tests dissuade people, including me from trying it lol.

Geodon, hey 50% is better than nothing, right? Geodon has one of the most complex MOAs of anything I've seen. I hope Luvox turns out to do something for your OCD. I'm sure you've already tried everything under the sun for it.

My number one suggestion would be Aldoril (methyldopa/hydrochlorothiazide). Similar to clonidine (which is sometimes indicated), but a much better treatment since it combines two treatments into one. I would give this is a shot for your OCD.

I switched to regular ole Dexedrine IR 60mg. Have you ever tried it? I imagine that since you're getting 100% coverage with Vyvanse there's no point. It's equal to 22.5mg. Dexedrine. (Vyvanse according to Shire is equal to 30mg. Adderall XR 30mg.) I imagine it's equal to more than 22.5mg. however since the bioavailability is 100% so it's probably 30mg. of Dexedrine too. It's just making me really curious tho. I might consider asking for Vyvanse 70mg. with #90 10mg. Dexedrine.
