Well, I guess the fact that I had stopped my meds last week made it that much easier, and we could get started straight on meds.
Lamictin
Starting at 12.5mg, going up every week by 12.5mg to 100mg.
Then I see her again.
If the depression is still there, we will look to add Wellbutrin. But for now only 1 med at a time to ensure it is working.
I like this approach. The pdoc seems friendly and professional, not eccentric, open to explain everything to me, listens and is available - a phone call away.
