Hey yall,

Quick background. I have Schizoid Personality Disorder (undiagnosed), and PTSD from my time in the military. The doctor said since I have an axis I disorder, the PTSD, it`s hard to go back and say I had the Schizoid. But that`s not a big deal because the symptoms overlap and the PTSD probably made any underlying conditions worse. The reason I believe in my head that I have this personality disorder is because I recently read what it is and I felt as if I was reading a story of my whole life. But anyways, I was on remeron, wellbutrin, gabapentin, trazadone, and for a few days Zoloft but had a bad reaction. I asked the Dr. about mood stabilizers and he said lets try it out because you don`t seem to respond to SSRI`s. I hope it works. Anyone have any experience with this Lamictal? I`m on day 2 and feel a little better, but my jaw is clenching and I feel like I`m on another galaxy. My racing thoughts have gone away though. Now I`m only on lamictal, gabapentin, suboxone, and trazadone for sleep. Over time I`ve become very withdrawn and afraid to leave the house. I was on the train yesterday and extremely agitated with people. The guy sitting next to me got up because I guess he could see I was uncomfortable by my behavior, even though I never said anything. LOL. Now I sit in my room and listen to music and play video games. I`m a total space cadet but I want to get better and go back for my Master`s degree but I`m just not well enough. So my question after this too long message is: ANYONE HAD SUCCESS WITH LAMICTAL FOR MOOD SWINGS, ANGER, DEPRESSION, ETC. ?
