Well, let's see, not too many, I guess:
Previously I was diagnosed with dysthymia and another couple times major depression. For that they tried:
Prozac (messed with my stomach!)
Paxil (same thing)
I got off them and on my own I tried:
St. John's Wort (didn't work enough, no help for mood swings, anxiety and anger/rage outbursts)
My new p-doc is saying PTSD, depression and anxiety, possibly Bipolar II, so we are trying:
Buspar
Trileptal
and now Lamictal.
Praying I don't get THE RASH. It sounds nasty and I don't know anyone else on this med.
Best,
RF
