I see my pdoc on Friday. Actually I was planning to ask for lamictal.
I thought maybe I could try zoloft as a new antidepressant and lamictal.Now I just read in a med book that zoloft does NOT mix well with lamictal cause of liver metabolism!
Great, this means zoloft is out of the game and this means that the ONLY SSRI left I could try would be prozac and prozac
on the other hand does NOT mix well with amphetamines (which I need for adhd) also because of liver metabolism!Great now what do I do? Basically my whole plan is gone now. Now I dont even know which antidepressant to try next cause there
isn't much left. Paxil is NO option cause of withdrawal issues and I already tried Lexapro. Fluvox is also no option cause I drink much coffee.
I feel SO crappy right now. Totally discouraged. I mean if I dont know what to try next I dont even have to see my doc.
He definitely isnt going to make helpful suggestions he will just come up with something out of his hat. Oh my.
I also read in a med book about lamictal it said that there is NO proof that lamictal helps with unipolar depression
and it also talked about side effects and potentially lethal skin rashes. Now I'm totally scared.
It also said that lamictal can actually make you more suicidal and is NOT suited for treating acute depression!Bottom line is I have NO damn clue wether trying lamictal is worth the risk or not. What if it makes me suicidal? What if I go on
it and then out of the blue I'm full blown suicidal? Or what if I go on it and think that I tolerate it and then all of a sudden in a situation where I would not have been suicidal I become suicidal because of lamictal? This basically seems like an absolutely incalculable risk to me.
