Hey. I'm glad u have gotten to see ur pdoc. I have never had a pdoc who give me their personal phone # or that I could reach outside office hours. My current one has an emergency line but It pretty much just says to go to the ER.

I take lamictal. I think it helps me and I have no side effects I can think of from it. It is most known for helping with bipolar depression and mood stsbilization, but I don't think it really is an anti-manic drug. Not totally sure though.

When I brought up the possibility of experimenting with lowering meds a year or so ago after I had felt pretty stable, my doctor freaked the **** out. He raised his voice and was like "you've got to be kidding me?!" I tried to explain that since summer was coming up I thought it would be a good time to try it (I don't work in the summer). Anyway let's just say it didn't go well. Which made me realize if I ever do decidE I want to try reducing them I am on my own or need to find another pdoc. I think he pretty much said if I wasn't on medication there was no point to keep seeing him or something like that...
I'm not feeling stable enough right now so have no plans to change meds but I would eventually like to see if I could at least come off the Wellbutrin. Being on an AD long term doesn't have that great outcomes according to stuff I have read. Idk.

I hope you find a med combo that works for you. Good luck. Take care. Be safe.
