I've taken all of them at one time or another except the vyvanse (my son takes vyvanse though), but I didn't take them all at one time so I'm not sure if I have any information that can be helpful to you. Is there something specific you are wondering about?

thanks
and there's loads going on. some has stopped happening after a few weeks that i started them.
but i have this skin thing starting where its all peely like but the skin isn't dead.
that and im not getting restful sleep. i sleep. but when i awaken im even more exahusted than i was the previous day.
i also get malaise (generally ill feeling) off and on for moments during the day and nothing seems to trigger it or make it go away (the feeling comes and goes as it pleases).
that's the main problems im having. the others are just very mild or no longer happening.

Lamictal can cause a rash, but what you are describing doesn't quite sound like a rash. Let your doctor know about it though.

Seroquel can really knock you out and can keep you drowsy on and off during the day, but vyvanse can cause insomnia. Maybe the two together are creating the sleep/tiredness issues you are experiencing. Again, I'd talk to your doctor about the sleep issues.

My pdoc warned me that viibryd can cause stomach issues, mainly nausea. I haven't had that problem, but if it is that kind of sick you are feeling, perhaps that is it?

Really, your best bet is to present all of your symptoms/side effects to your doctor and let him decide how to handle them. When we're on several strong meds like this, they can interact in odd ways.

i've noticed the stomach thing (cause there's a certain pattern my crohns sticks to, and that pattern has been... well not a pattern anymore lol. tho i didn't know what was causing it.
i have a nerologist and he tested my blood just recently to see if the lamictal is too high or too low. as for my pdoc, i don't even think she knew i was supose to be having my blood drawn to make sure the lamictal wasn't causing a toxic problem(cause i've never been tested until my nerologist asked me what kind of blood work i've had done recently and my answer was its been 6 months since my last blood draw.
i take the lamictal at night and that's when im all clumsy and the room spins and i stumble and trip and walk into doorframes (lol i was going for the doorway but i missed the whole doorway and hit the doorframe). along with many other things.

thanks! :-)
