I am really happy for you. Effexor is one of the most prescribed drugs. And now you know why.
I think that Lamictal is an excellent choice for some one who is on an antidepressant such as Effexor, Cymbalta, pregabalin, or one of the SSRI's. Lamictal is a good balance for these drugs.
I know all too well about cripplying (I can't spell) anxiety and horrible depression. Like you, I also love my dog. (Gives me less aggrevation than my kids.)
It's really a coincidence that you posted your success today because today is the first time in my life that I have felt an almost total remission. I feel better than I have ever felt.
I take Provigil 400 mg, Lamictal 200 mg, and Lyrica (pregabalin) 600 mg.
The change I made a few days ago was to increase the Lryica from 300 to 600. That made a great difference by decreasing my residual anxiety. I know that in studies for ADD, Lyrica 600 mg did very well. Pregabalin soon could get FDA approval for GAD (generalized anxiety disorder).
Like you, I encourage people to be very aggressive in their treatment.
