Re: Lamictal- what AD dose= Zoloft 100 mg/Prozac 2

Lamictal has erased my Major Depression. Period.
It is a suble medication doing the job in the background with no side effects for me. It is non-intrusive like the ADs in my experience. However, it also doesn't have that major "PUNCH" like I got on wellbutrin or zoloft (with all the side effects, etc). Lamictal just makes me feel like "me" and not depressed. The ADs make me feel like someone else (which can be good or bad).

Regards,
John


> Subtle, yes--but also hit me with a wham, when it hit: Depression's over! All gone! Subtle in that it doesn't feel like I'm on anything. Zoloft *not* a good idea. One of *the* manic ADs. How about a little Effexor, or Wellbutrin, to tide you over? I'm still on 225mg Effexor and 10mg Dex -- no, Dex never made me high either, not for a minute -- but it took the Lamictal topper to fix me.

Going real slow is not only the way to avoid The Rash--in which case one loses out on a great drug--it is the only way to work one's way up to the tolerable dose. I rushed my dose, and thought it was an awful med, til someone advised me. I am so grateful, now. . .
