Which drug?

[Csandnugget]

Hello everyone,

I know it's different for everyone, but I'd appreciate your general opinion.

Which drug is more prone to giving one lethargy?
Lamotrigine or fluoxetine?

(I know it's also dose related - but I'd like off-the-bat hunches)
:-)

Hi Krista,
thank you so much, your reply really did help me.
I'm sure that sitting at my desk is going to be a whole lot easier now.

I'm slowly moving all my meds over to the evening

All the best to you Krista, feel free to chat any time!

Hi again.  Ok, I've been on prozac too....

I think that the lamotrigine is stronger as far as lethargy goes,

I am on 200mg Lamotrigine at bedtime.  I used to be on 400mg but doc said that 200mg would be effective.

Fluoxetine is prozak/nuzak type anti depressants.

I know both of them give lethargy, trying to figure out which one of the drugs people think is 'stronger' regarding the lethargy effect.

How much lamotrigine do you take Krista?

[Krista520]

I take Lamotrigine at night for that reason.
What is the other name for fluoxetine?  I can't think what it is.
Sorry can't help you more,
Krista
