hello,
i didnt want to go higher than 20mg lexapro cause I worried about QT changes. lexapro can cause heart rhythm changes.
also when I got off the 20mg I had pretty bad withdrawal which lasted 2 months. I always got the brain zaps and this was really annoying. Going on a really high SSRI dose is dangerous in this sense cause of the withdrawal and I already tapered down the lexapro when I got off it.

NAC doesnt seem to work for me.
I have Glycine at home but not tried it yet. I read in a study they took 60 grams! This is way too expensive. They also didnt tolerate it well.

Amantadine isn't available anymore right? Hasn't it be forbidden?

Is Lamotrigine safer than Topiramate?
I'd try Lamo but what sucks is that my doc so far hesitated to prescribe it.
I also read at a psychiatrist's blog that Lamotrigine should not be mixed with Zoloft. He claimed that both drugs seem to interfere with each others metabolism and that this can cause toxic byproducts. I tried to find out more about this but wasn't able to. Since I wanted to try Zoloft next I dont know if I could even mix it with Lamictal.
But Zoloft is basically the only SSRI left. Prozac doesn't mix well with amphetamines and Fluvox doesn't mix with caffeine and I drink coffee. So basically only Zoloft is left.
