Nope, no issues with lamital and prozac, but the prozac caused some weight gain and probably some lowering of my libido.
You’re welcome!
I also tried to just do the prozac-lamictal thing by itself, but sadly, I noticed a difference. I just didn’t function as good as I had on the pill cocktail my pdoc prescribed. I did if for half a semester, ruined my grades, and then jumped back on abilify pretty quick after that.
Yes, I too, hate intrusive thoughts. I think my abilify, more than the lamictal, helps control that, but I’m just going off my personal experience–you might be different. I always wondered if I could get away with just an antidepressant and mood stabilizer, but my pdoc isn’t about to experiment at the moment lol.
Good luck!
Hey thanks, I’m glad to hear that the combo works for you. Lamictal is a pretty good drug aside from the cognitive stuff but at least it seems to work. I agree Prozac puts a little weight on me but it’s worth it for what it does for OCD. I’ve found it to be the chilliest of all the ADs. Even with the lowered libido, and I’ve been on a lot of them. Well I guess only time will tell if I can taper down off the latuda. I have a feeling that I’m gonna end up on a low dose of it at the end.
You learn to roll with the punches after a while
For some reason or glitch, when I request refills over the past 2 months or so, the usual refill cycle wasn’t reset for Zoloft so I’ve been going on just the Seroquel, lately. Well, not a good thing. I find they were right that I need both the Zoloft and the Seroquel for the best synergistic effect for my case. Going to need to get around to calling an appointment soon with my pdoc to get the refills going again with the Zoloft.
So I need Zoloft (can work as anti-depressant [among helping other conditions]) just for optimal purposes. Helps concentration/energy levels. For my case, that is. Without the synergy, no bad side effects or anything like that… Just lessened concentration capability and energy level.
