I'm tempted to go back to no meds, and stay in therapy.

Hi Purple,

I am currently taking lamictal, paxil and effexor.

Tried to go off the effexor first, got depressed, so kept it.

Dropped low again in July despite the lamictal and effexor.

Asked to add paxil. Feel better on paxil. Not necessarily happy, but able to function.

What I would really like to do is cut out the lamictal and effexor and see how i do just on paxil. I used to manage fine with only this one med.

I need to wait until I have a very low stress period of time in my life to try this. It may come soon enough, if my husband gets work. I may choose to not work for a while and see if I can get this thing under control.

What did your Pdoc say?
