Saw the DR today...

My annual appt. We both agreed the Lamictal isn't doing anything, and
that I am on the right amount of lithium. He's a really nice man, and
I've been going to him for alot of years. Makes me wonder what ['ll do
when I move. It'll be over an hour to his office from the Keys. I hate
the idea of starting over with someone else.

Guess I have pleanty of time to figure it out.

G'nite ASD.

maybe he'll consult with another doc, at least until you're up
to speed with the new one.

What dose of Lamictal and Li are you on?

I tried Li carbonate first, but just absolutely couldn't stand it.
Lamictal worked well at I'd have to describe it as "subtle" and still
needing to do work myself, but I never expected the meds to do all the
work for me. If I had to go back to Li I'd go with the citrate version.

I am on 100 mg of Lamictal, but I am going to start phasing it out. It
did absolutely nothing for me.

For years, I was on 600 mg of lithobid, a timed release lithium, and it
worked great. Then they stopped making it, and I had to switch to
Lithium Carbonate. No timed release, so the results are not as good,
and I have to take 900mg.

Now I'm going to switch to Eskalith, which is timed-release, and pray
that it works.

There is another company that will be making Lithobid again, so
hopefully I can switch to that. It worked so well for so long.


aaahhh, my glamorous life......

I didn't get any benefit until about ~300 I'd say. I'm at 400 but I get
headaches if I go higher and I'm happy enough at 400. Finding an
anti-depressant just after that was the ticket.
