Are you completely off all meds now?

Hi tecomsin!
I am still taking Lamictal (dropped 100mg.), citalopram (same dose), Abilify 1mg.(tapering off), temazepam (same dose bedtime for now).
I've had to drop gabapentin entirely, decreased Lamictal, decreased Abilify
My pdoc's ideal goal, if/when I am ready, is to have me on Lamictal only, if possible. I am not sure this would handle my anxiety; yet, we will see. I am partial to citalopram, as it has helped me a lot with agitation, anxiety and PTSD reactivity. I feel okay taking it with Lamictal on board.
In addition to becoming far too sedated on some meds, I have improved sleep. It's significantly better; yet, still needs improvement. I will finally have a sleep study in 3 days.
Thanks for your interest and your ongoing support.
