Thanks for the warm welcome agony007!
Actually, I posted on the drug questions forum asking for help regarding the meds I was on. I talked about the symptoms I was experiencing while on Lamictol/Adderall and if these symptoms are common. Nobody's responded yet, but it is a tough question if you're not a doctor. I hope that someone might have an answer for me since I can't see my pdoc till the 27th.
I'm both Bipolar/ADD and I was on Lamictol and Adderall and I started having really bad psychotic episodes (i.e. hurting myself, screaming, squirming around on the floor, crying endlessly...) so I decided to stop taking the Lamictol.
I was on Adderall in highschool and it seemed to work okay for me so when I got put back on it a month or so ago, I decided the symptoms couldn't have been caused by this med. I was already familiar with it which is why. I had little bouts of depression, sort of the same, but not nearly as bad when I was taking it in highschool.
Anywho, the worst psychotic episode happened on the 1st last Sunday night and my hubby ended up taking me to the hospital, which was my worst nightmare come to life. I stayed in a psych ward for a night and a day then was released to come back home. The doctors at the hospital speculated that the Adderall was causing these awful symptoms so weaned me off the pills. I've been just happy ever since. Of course it's only been like 5 days, but I feel better. The doctors say if I continue to get well after 2 weeks then its safe to say the Adderall was the culprit of my "episodes". Lets see how things go and wish me luck!
