Hi Mr. Ed :)
> Yes, I agree that it's worth trying the higher dose of Zoloft and adding Lamictal. Some psychiatrists actually combine Aurorix with SSRIs but this is risky because it can cause the serotonin syndrome! ...hence the washout.
Yes, tomorrow we will discuss how to proceed, maybe just remeron 15mg + zoloft 200mg for two weeks and then adding lamictal or adding lamictal instantly. On one hand, it's clever to go for just 200mg zoloft+rem for two weeks just to be sure if the problem was the dosage or not, but on the other hand two weeks is a long time and i can feel i want a new drug now, a change.
> Do you feel that you need to be in hospital? ...or would the main reason for going into hospital be that they'd probably be more likely to let you try an MAOI?
I believe they only want to administer MAOI under controlled conditions, monitoring vitals etc, hence the hospital. But, no i don't need a hospital. There are a lot of drug combos i want to try before MAOI and i don't want to stay a week or so in a hospital, i'd be bored to death.
