In reply to Lamictal causing suicidal attempt, posted by blueberry on May 27, 2006, at 6:30:30
Hi Blueberry,
Just want to say I can sort of relate to the way you are feeling on Lamictal. I started with it pretty much inconsistently at a high dose and sort of felt better, clearer headed the next day.
Anyway, I've now started it on a more realistic dose and yesterday I felt not anxious but really sluggish, it felt almsot the way Nardil made me feel. I was sobbing on the phone to my boyfriend (well ex now :-)) and today have been mentally composing a suicide note to my doctor.So I understand how you feel, I definately agree with Scott, to increase the Zyprexa, 10mg of Zyprexa always makes me feel more rational (although I often don't follow my own advice). Here's hoping the Lamictal helps us both.
Wasn't it you who was considering ECT because that's what I've been thinking of pushing for. I'm absolutely sick of faffing around with medication that either doesn't work or makes me feel worse.
Denise
