In reply to Lamictal Any positive experiences?, posted by never2late on February 27, 2012, at 22:59:11
My diagnosis is MDD, SAD, GAD, and ADD.
I am not too sure about experiencing any type of mania. I work customer service and people get very demanding and needy and sometimes it gets to the point that I get really annoyed with it. Being called by 4 different people at the same time and working with people who refuse to learn to do anything because if they dont do it I do can get frustrating.
I dont think this qualifies as manic. I am happy to read that at higher doses it has a calming effect. I would like to not take as much klonopin during the day, maybe I wont need to if the lamictal helps.
The ritalin is essential to my treatment of ADD. I graduated undergrad with a 2.01 having repeated many classes in roder to graduate. After being diagnosed with ADD I returned to school and am now able to pull A's in 400 level classes. My thinking is less scattered and my reading comprehension has improved tremendously.
I have noticed that I need alot more sleep since starting the lamictal. 9 hours seems to be the perfect amount, which is tough to do every night. Ill keep with it. Today is the day I increase to 50 mg.
The other med my doc wanted to throw into the mix after we find out if lamictal works is Intuniv. So well see how things shake out.
