Retrying Lamotrigine

Lounge
1

I asked my psychiatrist today if I could drop the dose of risperidone to 4mg from 5mg because I was feeling tired and sluggish and she said sure thing :smile:

I also asked her if I could go back on a tiny dose of Lamotrigine (Lamictal)

So she said yes and prescribed me a tiny dose of Lamictal.

I told her that it would make me a bit hypomanic but she was fine with it.

Better than feeling dead (depressed)

Overall it was a positive session.

Good luck @Wave! I really hope it works for you. It has been such a major help to me; I used to feel angry and aggressive all the time, and now I’m much more mellow. I’m on 200mg 2x/day.

Wow I didn’t know one can take 400mg a day! I’m on 150mg maybe should increase my dose to 200 or 250 to help my depression…
