Hey Andrew, when you say starting dose, what do you mean, especially with lamictal? Are you referring to 25mg or 200mg? How long were you on the meds? Did you give them an adequate chance to work? (Dumping the zoloft may make perfect sense, especially without a good anti-manic-focused drug, with doc support.)
Lamictal has been one of the easier meds for me to DC (I was at 400) following the recommended tapering schedule (given it is an anticonvulsant, I was too scared to go faster), so I am hoping your symtoms will ease soon.

In case the above sounds too sanctimonious, I cold turkeyed Effexor once. That was horrible with lots of physical effects. Still makes me shudder, but I get the desire to just be done with "useless" meds. Then again, I wonder if I am always the best judge of what may be working, especially if only a little. I want drastic improvement. Why can't we have a psych drug like an antibiotic that noticeably starts to work in 24 hours?

Fingers crossed for you (one more push for you to talk to doc about whether you should DC both (at the same time) and, if yes, how to do it as painlessly as possible. If you can't get in touch this weekend, you might want to think about going back to the last dose that didn't produce the current symptoms.).

Me? I think I may be headed toward the manic side, so please forgive the verbosity
