Hi Cam,
How's it going? Here I go again with a new drug question, my doc made a suggestion of me trying Lamictal instead of the Lithium I've been using due to the deep depression I'm sinking back into, he started me back on Celexa again too, and I'm still taking 100mg of Topamax, for what I don't know I told him it hasn't had any effect on my weight, but I think he is afraid that once I am off the Lithium I still may need a mood stabilizer back up. Anyway when he suggested Lamictal due to it's antidepressant property track record with bipolars I told him I wasn't fond of the chance of the rash thing, I've always had skin problems and was always prone to skin disorders, so I abruptly said "no thanks", maybe I should reconsider taking it? Is the chance of rashing slim? I saw my original doc. today she even said Lamictal is good for bipolars that tend to be more depressed than manic, and if I still lived out there by her she would suggest I try it. What have you heard about this drug, does it cause hair loss, weight gain, sexual dysfunction, etc.?? Gee, it will be another of many I've tried, I'm getting a lot of experience with these meds. But I guess it is worth it to keep trying them till we get it right, that is as long as they get it right soon As always I appreciate any info you can furnish me with and a little chit-chat would be nice too
Thanks so much!
