I am not at 150 mg of Zoloft and still no side effects ... weird.
What would be good to combine with Zoloft to boost it. Don't say Wellbutrin because it makes me psychotic. And no anti-psychotics since they make me lactate.
I am severely depressed, suicidal and cutting.

Let's see, what was your reaction to Lamictal? There are the new prescription formulations of methylfolate, which are supposed to be quite helpful -- I take one, MetanX, which has other B vitamins, too. Others have had good things to say about Deplin, which is another option. I think you've augmented with tryptophan? Eating helps -- it really does make a difference, no matter how much some of us hate to admit that.
You mentioned that you have MS, too? I didn't know that, because my guess is that it's very much involved in your continuing depression. Are you taking any sort of treatment for it? Many of the substances used to treat it can have psychiatric effects. And no treatment can also include psychiatric effects. Regardless, I just read something about treating MS, and will look that up.
I'm sorry you're not feeling better, but I'm very glad that you're not having side effects. How long have you been at this dose? You know that it can take a while...

Lamictal increases my depression.
Yes, I have MS and that comes with depression. I do not take any meds for my MS. I have the relapsing remitting kind. When I have an episode I go on steroids.
I take tryptophan.
I've only been on this dosage for a really short time. I guess I am not expecting it to work and I am trying to think ahead because I am so desperate.
Yes, and eating would help, but I can't do that right now.

Maxime seriously Deplin was suggested to me by a very educated poster or ex one. And no side effects for me with either zoloft or luvox. I'm not sure what it means Also a very suicidal ex-poster went on requip I know for restless legs but turned his life around. I too am looking up meds for MS as steroids are what my Mother took and they made her civily crazy. Foamed at the mouth, threw things at me and I was only a child oh but it was my fault I am the one who made her sick with another autoimmune disease and steroids were new and they didn't know how to use them yet.I'm going to google MS now. And I do care. Love Phillipa
