Usually we only change one medicaiton at a time --- unless the old/current med (Lamictal is causing a crisis). If two meds are being changed at the same time, we do not know which one is doing what. I am am concerned. Mari |

Hi TBI/PTSD, I'm not sure if I read your full post so If I'm mistaken about anything I apologize, I'm just trying to help. Anyhow you mentioned you were "very, very anxious maybe manic" and that you were "anxious then super depressed sometimes in a matter of minutes to hours." Lamictal can actually cause destabilization in many people before they reach a stabilizing or therapeutic dose. Low doses of Lamictal can act almost like an antidepressant to some bipolars, resulting in anxiety, panic, erratic moods or rapid cycling or sad to hypo to manic, and anger. It's the higher doses of Lamictal that act like a true mood stabilizer. Hope that helps abit, if not I do apologize. I certainly hope you are feeling better soon and Latuda will offer you some relief. Take care. WindWalker |

Good morning!
My doc increased my dosage to 80 MGS and an Ativan if I can't sleep. I think the Latuda makes me feel better and want to do more and as I do, it is too much. Being in yoga school or anywhere for 8 hours a day is too much for me. I will find a work around. Have a great day today. |

glad that the doc will be allowing you take the ativan to sleep. I take klonipin to sleep just 1mg does the trick.
WE NEED TO SLEEP! bizi
