Doing much better

[Hadeda]

Since I last saw my pdoc in April and he put me on Lamotrigine along with my AP’S

My depression has lifted gradually now and haven’t heard voices in a while. Have occasionally anxiety and lack of motivation and thought insertion but mostly well.

I’ve slowly reduced my amisulpride to 200mg maintenance dose and olanzapine 5mg. So I take half my prescribed dose. Halved the expense which is a great help! And doing fine. The Lamotrigine I keep at full dose as it’s helping the depression which was the worst symptom.

Seeing my pdoc again this month hopefully and hear what he has to say.

It’s nice to be well and be able to be there for my husband

Good for you! I’m so happy to hear you’re doing better!

Lamictal is a lifesaver. I take 100 mg at night and it really helps with depression and mood. Good that you are now on maintenance doses of your meds too. I was on 10 mg of Zyprexa at first, but my pdoc and I have figured out that 7.5 mg is my lowest effective dose, so I am on that now. I am in the U.S. so I can’t try amisulpride, but it sounds like it’s a great drug going by what people post here.
