Hi
I have too much liver enzymes (double the normal) caused by LAMICTAL (Lamotrigine) 300mg.
Can this influences the metabolism of my other meds ? RISPERDAL .25 and PARNATE 30mg.
I know there is report about Lamictal increasing blood level of Risperdal even to 8x.
Even with a ridiculous dose of Risperdal .25mg I have strong side effects like face-pain and libido decrease. I tried to stop it in Febuary and 3 days later I had the worst depression ever until I restart the Risperdal. When I try .5 my side effects are too strong .. face pain are bad and I also do some restless legs syndrome.Now about Parnate.. 30mg in one dose = an increase of BP(blood pressure) of about 30points.
Everyone told me it would resolve someday byitself.. 3 weeks laters it didn't move at all.It all seems too me not enough metabolism so too much in the blood.
Plz don't tell me to go get a blood test for Risperidone, Lamotrigine, Tranylcypromine or for precise enzyme type detection or genetic test to see if I am a poor, medium or utrafast metaboliser.... I sometimes dont have enough money to eat 3 times a day. :SPlz take time to think with me. It could have a huge impact of my life to understand that and act on it.
Thank you,
Marty

Hi Marty
>30mg in one dose = an increase of BP(blood pressure) of about 30points
That's not acceptable at all :( Have you tried taking 10mg three times a day? - morning, noon and early afternoon. Taking Parnate in divided dose lessens the effect on BP. Nardil normally decreases BP. A decrease in BP is also common with Parnate. Unlike Nardil, Parnate can sometimes cause spontaneous hypertension. You might have to stop taking it if your BP remains elevated.
I have not heard of an interaction between Lamictal and Parnate.
Regards
Ed

Same goes for Marplan as far as BP lowering goes.

Don't be sorry Phillipa :) It's not every med that works for everyone, that would be too easy right ? ;) I was a little pissed when I wrote this thread first message. Parnate is so much a good med you know.. could even be the single best of all the AD for what I know.Now I need to rest a little.. I'm a little fatigued by the withdrawal.
Hows your search for the best med for you Phillipa ?
Give me news!
take care xxMarty
