Hi, I'm really desperate tonight. I have been crying for 2 days straight, saw my doc today. I read a post over at PsychoSocialBabble by Penny which helped a lot, and a few of the replies were very helpful. I'm really having a hard time. My doc wants to augment Lamictal with my current Topamax. I recently had to cut my Topamax because of the itchy rash I got. But today he said slowly increase the Topamax again, add the Lamictal and see if the rash gets worse-then we'll know if it's the Topamax that's giving you the rash. So there I sit today trying to tell him I need an AD (I believe) because I've got tears rolling down my face. All he suggested is Lamictal.
Is anyone on this combo? Has it helped? I'm bipolar but have been diagnosed with major depression in the past and sure feel majorly depressed I have absolutely NO mania.Please can anyone give me some feedback, I would appreciate it. I'm at a loss and feeling quite hopeless at this point.
Thanks,
Gal
