In reply to lamictal, still cycling....advice on meds, posted by fiftylager on May 6, 2007, at 19:51:10
Thanks for the replies. I am doing better now but I'm trying not to kid myself that it will last. It's so easy to trick yourself that you're better, even if it's only for a few days.
I checked out that link to the crazy meds board and am still reading the posts. Thank you for the link.
It's depressing because this is such a miracle drug for a lot of people. I was hoping for a monotherapy. I was looking into trileptal because it sounds not too bad but it sounds expensive and I'm on birth control pills which apparently is a no no with it.
I don't want to get put on depakote or lithium. The side effects sound terrible. I need something that won't make me sleep all the time and gain weight but something that won't cause anxiety either. Clonazepam helps but it's not something I want to take everyday due to the addiction potential.
It's frustrating. I just want to feel balanced. I'm also nervous having a new pdoc. Hate that!!!
Thank you again for the replies.crissi
