In reply to Add Lamictal to current cocktail!!, posted by Geezer on November 13, 2001, at 10:35:36
Hello,
I'm a bit late responding to your post; haven't checked in for awhile ...I can't say much here, althought Lamictal + Klonapin + Serzone are causing no problems for me. My pdoc feels confident combining other meds with Lamictal. I know Depakote + Lamictal is a popular combo, but like you said, you need to titrate even more slowly on the Lamictal.
Good luck,

> Current Meds.: Depakote 750mg., Wellbutrin 200mg., Zoloft 25mg., Visteril 50mg., Klonopin 1mg., and Ambien 10 mg.,(all total daily dosages at devided intervals). QUESTION: Is there any danger with the addition of Lamictal (I understand 1/2 dose slow titration with Depakote to avoid rash). My concern is interation with Lam.+Well+Zo. Found one study (2 patients) indicating 33% increase of Lam. level with combined use of Zo. Thanks to all-been monotoring for 6 months - your a good group.
