I take a drug called lamictal. Prior to taking Lamictal I was extremely tired depressed ,agitated and snappy under stress. I have no enjoyment or interest in anything including my work which I use to enjoy. My only interst is the bible and going to church. I had and still have to a lesser degree racing thoughts and trouble concentrating. I have always had attention or zoning out issues since I was a child but I had always been happy. My Doctor presribed Lamictal a little over a year and a half ago, and it helped with both the racing thoughts issues as well as my depression. We started with 25mg and increased over time to 400 mg a day. One 200 in the morning and the other at 3;00 p.m. and my depressioned lessoned. However recently my depressioned worsened, so he added trazedone which I could not tolerate and then we tried Lexapro both made me feel worse so I stopped both after a week. He doesnt recommend me getting off the lamictal. However I would like to get off Lamictal. F.Y.I. I also have to take atenolol and pravastain for Hypertrophic cardio myaopathy heart conditoin and Ambien for sleep. What can I do to get off the lamictal? I would rather br happy and deal with the racing thoughts than the depression.
