It wasn't there for Klonopin, and it was present long before my AP. So that leaves either Lamistal, Pristiq - or both. She's insistent about not lowering either. I wish she'd just give it a chance. If I react badly, I would be willing to return to the original dose.

In that case I understand your suspicions. I think if I were in your shoes I would also want to try and drop below the therapeutic dose for Lamictal and see what happens. It's a shame your Pdoc isn't open to this. What if you suggest temporarily introducing another mood stabilizer to be "safe" while lowering the Lamictal? Maybe that would make your Pdoc feel safer about it?
