I like that you suggest trying one med before going on two. I can't understand why doctors prescribe more than one at a time until knowing if it's needed.
I had a pdoc tell me I had to take Lamictal and an antidepressant or she wouldn't prescribe anything to me. I was having side effects on antidepressants but they were working so I don't understand why she would want to put me on two different kinds of drugs. Needless to say I didn't continue seeing her. If one drug does it for you then why not stick with it?!
