sandy12 Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 I am on Trazodone, 50mg Lamotrigine 25 mg and Ativan 1 mg 3 times a day. I am thinking about asking my doctor to put me on a low dose of Paxil 2.5 mg to help ease more of my anxieties. I still feel the anxiety in me and i need something little just to bring it down. The ativan helps some and the Trazodone and Lamotrigine helps some but i can till i get a bit nervous in the morning and at bedtime It won't hurt if i take this will it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dtac Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 That's an extremely low dose of lamotrigine, perhaps your pdoc could raise that slowly instead of adding a new med? Most people don't notice improvement with lamotrigine until around 100mg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Micho Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 Personally I'd try another med. Just my opinion but Paxil was very hard for me to come off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazyRedhead Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 (edited) Gabapentin....just a suggestion.... From what I've seen around here, quite a few folks say gabapentin helps with their anxiety, but personally, if your pdoc agrees, I would try upping the LTG dose somewhat, and see if that works, before adding an extra med.
