Just that effexor and cymbalta was a disaster, my BP was so high. BP meds didnt help. Į quit immediately after few days į got back to normal bp.
Į feel more alive with Lamictal, and 50mg seroquel. And trying new AD - tianeptine. First week, but i feel benefit for short time. Even that, its good enough.
I start having my personality again. Į can express anger, but i have problems with crying, if į do so, it explodes.
My anxiety is high enough. Especially after hospital, with GI problems, 1. 5 diarrhea and didnt get treatment.
Į found valerian root helps my anxiety. IT calms me down, but with 1 tablespoon of it, į feel little high and problema concentrating. But cmon, į feel more relaxed (sedated) and dont feel heartbeats and physical anxiety.

I'm glad to hear things are better for you! I'm definitely hoping Lamictal will help with my depression and mixed episodes, but I didn't have any expectations about its effects on dissociation. I'm curious whether there will be any such effects in my case.
