So I saw a psych finally (after three months) today

He agreed the Seroquel was excessive. And he also said the rash is definitely from the Lamictal.

So...he's having me taper off of Lamictal and Seroquel. He said I can just do what works with it for sleep.

He put me on:
Neurontin 300mg x3
Wellbutrin 100mg x2
Vistaril 50mg x4

I won't take that much Vistaril but he wrote it that way so I can have it for anxiety *and* to get to sleep during the weaning off of Seroquel period. I'm not sure if I'll continue the HCTZ (diuretic w/potassium) or the Inderal (blood pressure med - I don't have blood pressure issues but this was written for anxiety, to physically keep me from attacks...but I don't believe it has helped much at all).

Any thoughts on this med combo?
