I am whacked. Stoned. Something. Per the plan the shrink and I came up wit, I stepped up to 200mg Lamictal tonight. (In 2 wks I start taking away the Trileptal.) That was around 9pm. About 10:30, I stopped what I was doing because I realized everything looked funny and I had horrid dry mouth. Standing up didn’t work too well, nearly fainted. Orthosomething hypotension no doubt. Managed to finally get up slooooowly to go to bathroom. Unsteady on my feet. And lips and tongue tingle – weirdo side effect that happened when I was going up on Trileptal too. And the stoned/drunk thing, but that’s normal enough with this stuff. Yeesh. This is going to make work fun tomorrow. Shoot, this week. I keep reminding myself that it wen away with the Trileptal and will with this.
You folks dealing with this, good luck to you too. It’s darned weird. It passes though. Thank goodness for spell check! Now if the mouse would just stay still.

see…this is why i had a fit and am refusing to go back to my psychiatrist. during each 2 week visit she has increased my dosage of lamictal slowly. after my last visit she wanted me to go from 100 to 200mg, “and if that doesn’t work, we’ll try seroquel”
say wha? i’m not hyper or manic. i’m lethargic and listless. you put me on even the lowest dose of seroquel and i won’t wake up for 2 days…i know…i had 50mg at the suggestion of a friend to help me sleep one night and i slept 18hrs.
i can’t imagine being cracked out on lamictal, lexapro, and the occasional ambien.
pfft.
If Seroquel knocks you out, sounds like that might not be the right thing for you. Tell the psychiatrist that, well, if you go to another one. I would.
