I'm currently on Lamictal (AM) Clonazapam (afternoon) Risperdal (PM)
Valium / Ativan as needed.
(I was on an additional MS, Tegratol for a year or so, but it interfered with my white blood cell count, so my Pdoc discontinued it)
Also I'm supposed to be taking an AD for a few weeks (I haven't been RXd an AD in years) but I lasted exactly 10 days before my hypo kicked into gear so I quit it.
To be fair, the Lamictal is the only constant, the others get tweaked or temporarily stopped depending on my cycles.
Idk if this is common practice but it works for me because I hate being a mobile pharmacy, I'm far too spoiled having had to only be on like 2 pills for years..
I've had a really good response to the Lamictal, I hope it works out for you.
