> I've seen some of your replies but not a current update. Are you back at 60mg? What is your opinion on Cymbalta FOR YOU at this point.
I don't think Cymbalta is helping me. I will continue with it in the hopes that I can find something to augment it. I am currently using riluzole.
> Also, since starting Lamictal, have you ever completely stopped it?
A few times. It helps me about 15% when I am taking an antidepressant at the same time, but does nothing by itself.
> I'm beginning to wonder if it's doing anything at all anymore. I can't go above 125mg or I start to gain weight and feel stupid.
How many days have you ever stayed at 150mg? I know this sounds weird, but perhaps the "stupids" would disappear at a higher dosage or with the passage of time. I wouldn't be too concerned with weight gain. It seems to plateau at 10 lbs.
Can you describe in a little more detail what you experience as the "stupids"?
How bad is you depression right now? How would you describe it?
I think you should remain on the Lamictal and add an antidepressant. What were your reactions to Wellbutrin or Remeron?
