Well, I've just switched pdocs and addedd a neurologist to the mix, also a counselor and she is my favorite.  My old pdoc was treating me for BPII and ADD, but barely addressing my TLE, then I got a bad headache - 8 weeks so far.  My new pdoc addedd Dx: Panic d/o w/Agoraphobia

was on Lamictal 200
Effexor XR 225
Adderall 40

now on tegretol 500
neurontin 600
adderall 20 will have to go back up
Lodine
Klonopin .5 x 3
Lortab 7.5 x 3
Effexor 225
Am presently feeling much better, calmer, headache has not resolved hence the Lortab, am a little sleepy, but I guess that's too be expected with the klonopin, but the neurontin is really making me the most tired and making me eat a little more, but hopefully will resolve when i make Dr. A increase my Adderall back to 40. 
Seroquel about 50 mg a night, but i get these from a friend.
have you ever tried vistaril, a friend gave me some that his pdoc prescribes for anxiety and i love it.

You almost got it right--it's "agoraphobia."
Just because some of us can read and write and do a little math, doesn't mean we deserve to conquer the Universe.

Psychiatrist has spoken with my occupational therapist and concluded that the ADD is a real and present problem. We are now slowly adding Strattera to my cocktail. 18mg will soon be 25mg. In the meantime (on a likely unrelated note), I am depressed and trapped in bureaucratic limbo by my own inaction. Frig.

I take neurontin 1200 mg and 150 lamictal for Bi polar. And I and my self.
