I've been on Lamictal, an antipsychotic, an antidepressant, AND a benzodiazepine for about five months. Between the four of them, I'm pretty stable......I tried coming off the AD, which didn't work, and then tried coming off the AP, which has thrown my sleep into chaos but helped me lose weight and get my blood sugars under control. Will probably have to go on another AP, but otherwise, my "cocktail" is just about perfect.
