Hi, I posted a few days ago on the subject that I started on 50mg of Lamictal-went down to 25mg for a few nights. Tonight I started back at 50mg-which, in the past has worked well for me (I need only minimal meds to help) I really want to see 1) how I sleep, 2) by just taking the AP-Seroquel at 100mg, if this combo may just work. I am titrating myself down to 100mg of Seroquel because I don't believe I should be on it-nor does my doc, at least not at 100-200mg a night.
I eventually would like to get off of Seroquel or maybe just like 50mg at night? As I TRULY believe the combo of Lamictal and Effexor or Celexa with the Klonopin is all that I really need. Any experience out there?
Any suggestions?
I would like to post on how I feel tomorrow if this helps anyone?
:-)Kristen:-)

Seroquel is a very sedating med. It made me feel depressed/blah. Could it be making you feel worse? What is the reason you are taking it? For sleep?

Could be......that's why I (just tonight)am cutting it down to 100mg instead of 200mg
I was given Seroquel for insomnia along with the Klonopin at one point. No diagnosis of being psychotic.
I think the Lamictal is kicking in.........
Take Care,
Kristen:-)

I forgot to ask.....when you were on Seroquel, what was your dosage?

I couldn't even handle 25 mgs. It made me depressed and severely lethargic. I don't care for the med much.

Hey you:-)
Today I felt lethargic alright. I wonder if it's kicking in? No depression---yet.Thanks for your input.
Take care,Kristen
