IF you currently take, or have taken Lamictal, please share your experience with me.
Right now I'm stepping down from Remeron (Mirtazapine) because it's not helping. It gives me a constant headache, it's very sedating, and worst of all it increases my suicidal thoughts.
I told my new psychiatrist my concerns on August 8 and she increased the dose. I went along with it, because she said the sedative effects would actually reduce with an increase in dose and that the headache should go away. Both statements were not true for me. Increasing the dose made everything worse. She mentioned that we might try Lamictal if the Remeron didn't work out.
I called today and got the clinical psychologist insted. He said he'd try to get me a sooner appointment and told me to go ahead and start stepping down in dose.
I've been feeling incredibly depressed and I want my meds to be straightened out by the time school starts in 7 days. Looks as though I may not get my wish though.
