On 150 now I'm having a lot of writing/typing issues online. I drop a lot of words and make badly written sentences. Even if I mull over them for a while I still seem to make errors. This may not be all.lamictal but it got bad last year and that's a period I was on 150 for a while. My memory is also pretty poor regarding what gf is doing this week or when I have apts coming up.
So going down to 100 is my attempt to be sure lamictal isn't "blunting" Nardil and also hopefully help my cognitive issues. If I had to guess 200 might make me more sedated to things but I'm hoping to find motivation and the productivity I used to get from Marplan and when I was feeling optimistic.
I took another HR nap and feel slightly better. Hopefully I just need to wait a little longer for the lamictal w/d tonease (and Nardil to finally kick back in)
