What were you originally prescribed Vyvanse for? Is there a ADD/ADHD component to your condition? Have you ever tried Focalin?
> Effexor 37.5
> Lamictal 100mg
> .5 mgs Klonopin
> 10-30 mgs propranolol
> 10 mgs VyvanseHow high have you gone with Effexor?
When you combined Wellbutrin + Lamictal, what dosages were you taking, and for how long? What were the results?
Have you tried adding Abilify?
Perhaps you would do better without a serotonergic antidepressant. For example, you might feel better with Lamictal 200-300 mg/day + Abilify 5 mg/day + Wellbutrin 300 mg/day.
I wasted a lot of time taking 200 mg/day of Lamictal with only minimal results. Whenever I tried moving up to 300 mg/day, I would experience moderate impairments of memory and some brain-fog, so I would very quickly return to 200 mg/day. However, I realized that the depression was improved at the higher dosage. I decided to push the 300 mg/day to see what would happen with these side effects over the course of time. I can't remember how long it took, but I think it was less than a month.
Sometimes, a low dosage of lithium can help. It has been used with TCA, MAOI, and SSRI. I am taking 300 mg/day. I actually feel better at 300 mg/day than I do at 450 mg/day.
Perhaps it is time for a MAOI?
