My PNP took me off Lamictal and started Lexapro and this sucks.

I was on 50 mg Seroquel plus 50mg Lamictal.

Now I’m on 100 mg Seroquel and 10 mg Lexapro, plus 25 mg Lamictal as I wean (ween?)off it.

Last night was the 1st time taking this cocktail. I feel horrible! I often have terrible, vivid nightmares, but last night was bad. I woke up at 4am feeling like electricity was surging though my body. Went out for a cigarette and went back to bed hoping that a few more hours would help.

Nope. More horrible dreams; paranoid dreams. Woke up agitated, with the same surging electricity in my body, figity, and full of crazy thoughts. I can’t really describe exactly what I’m feeling and thinking.

Should I give it a couple days before I call the doc? Perhaps it’s just a big switch in medication and I need to get used to it.

What do you think?
