scatty Posted October 22, 2005 Share Posted October 22, 2005 I should add that I also take klonopin, usually just on occasions when I am having sleep or anxiety issues (like now.) My main meds are risperdal & lamictal and I'm wondering who is on this combo? My lamictal had to be lowered cuz of mania and my risperdal had to be upped. Trying to find a balance since this combo does seem to help my depression, suicidal feelings, paranoia and obsessive thoughts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yogamomma Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 I take Lamictal, Risperdal and Depakote.... I need the depakote to help with mania/hypomania- so pretty similar combo I guess! I do have anxiety also,but normally the risperdal helps calm me/make me sleepy (I just switched to it from Zyprexa). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scatty Posted October 26, 2005 Author Share Posted October 26, 2005 Thanks for the reply yogamomma. I am just coming down from a mania and I am feeling blah and unmotivated. At least I'm not obsessing, ruminating or suicidal. I wish I could raise my lamictal but the times I tried going up on it I got irritated, aggitated and basically became a bitch. Pdoc is reluctant to add an AD at this point since I just came down from a horrid manic state. I am med sensitive so I guess I'll just trudge along and hope it gets better.
