seroquel and lamictal

I am currently taking Risperdal, Lamictal, Lithium, and Lexapro. I was on Seroquel XR for quite sometime, but switched back to Risperdal because 1) it is a heck of a lot cheaper, and 2) it really worked well for me, even better than Seroquel. I believe in the fact that medications work quite differently for everyone. I personally have not had any issues with my current combination.

So i stopped it unfortunately and to my great sadness. Yet I know a lady who is taking for years lamictal+seroquel and doing pretty pretty well. So nobody knows !!! hopefully you will find suitable. HOPE so indeed. going back to lamictal + valporex it says in the brochure of the 1st that it mixes well with the 2nd, why, I don't know.

has anyone had stomach problems with lithium and lamictal while takimg them at the same time?.....

I am on seroquel xr 300mg, along with lamictal. Doc says I may be able to eliminate the seroquel if I get stabilized with lamictal.

I am on 200mg Lamictal and 20mg Lexapro. When I was on Lamictal and Seroquel, I asked the doc to take me off the seroquel because I gained 30 lbs. in 2 months, it made me very tired all the time, and my hair started to fall out. The Lamictal/Lexapro combination seems to work best for me.

ve always thought and wrote here that the best combo for BP is lamictal + seroquel though i never tried this combination myself as lamictal brought me seizure yet my pdoc said it can't because it works against that and that I was only hysterical at the time. Yet somehow I feel they can equalise each other, thus you feel stable. The 1st moves upwards i.e. lifts depression while the 2nd downward. In fact the side effect of lamictal (except rash, rare) is little and no weight gain.

I've just come off of trying to switch to Seroquel monotherpy. I maxed out on 800mg of Seroquel before I was able to totally get off of lithium and hadn't even started to lower my Lamictal dose. I don't tolerate lithium well and side effects have gotten much worse over time. Lamictal has been okay for me as long as we watch the dose - it's very reactive to hormones and that has been a huge problem. Was soooo looking forward to only one mood stabilizer...

I've been smoking marijuana for about 5 years. I've been diagnosed bipolar for about 2 years. I recently had a really bad reaction to pot. REALLY bad. I almost killed myself, screamed at my friends, and vomited for 2 days. No one else that smoked it had a bad reaction. I haven't had a medication change recently. I'm on lamictal, seroquel, wellbutrin, cymbalta, and adderall. I don't know what happened. It wasn't laced or else everyone would have gotten sick.

So today i took the first Lamictal 25 mg and will take another lamictal 25 mg at night with seroquel but i still want to keep taking the topomax and want to know if anyone had done this combo.

I am very sensitive to most psych meds. Currently taking Celexa 1mg daily, lamictal 12.5mg daily and seroquel 50 mg at bedtime to help me sleep. I've had problems with getting to sleep and staying asleep for several years. How long can I continue to take seroquel for sleep? Sometimes it works and sometimes not.

I currently take 400mg of Lamictal without any problems, but I also take remeron and valium. This combination seems to work for me and except for an occasional panic atttack(I'm diagnosed with that also) my anxiety level is pretty stable. As for Seroquel, I had the same problem with weight gain(40 lbs.) so told my doctor to take me of it and I've since lost the weight through diet and exercise. One outlet that I find very useful for anxiety is meditation, even for a few minutes a day.

at first I was like, ??, because Lithium and Seroquel are two different meds, then I read that you started Lamictal. I was told that Lamictal is good for the kind of mania that causes anger, irritability, and volatile outbursts, and that it helps with lingering depression. I was on Lamictal for awhile and hated it.

I've had that problem as well. I'm on Lamictal and Seroquel, and since I started the Seroquel I've been having more severe mood swings than usual--a couple of weeks ago I broke down into tears and sobbed for 2 hours because I was watching my favorite TV show and it made me remember something upsetting. My doctor seemed to think that the Lamictal was more of the problem, however, and upped my Seroquel dosage. How long have you been taking the medications?

t take those because they are not safe, I went off the litmital and he told me to wean myself off the neurtion. He gave me a med seroquel and i hate this med because he knocks me out but it worked for me when I was pregnant last time two years ago. I haven't started yet, I got so many things going on in my life and it is driving me insane. So with so many things going on, I am having a hard time. I am taking the neurtion and trying to get off of it but having a hard time.

I saw my psychiatrist yesterday and she keeps pushing Seroquel. I have tried Seroquel and Seroquel XR three times and had the same adverse reaction to it each time. It makes me hypermanic and gives me a bad case of akathisia. All three times, it was terrible; I just couldn't calm down. But, she just keeps after it, along with the other anti-psychotics, all with the high potential for agitation and akathisia... I mean, BUSPAR, agitated the heck out of me, 5mgs of CELEXA agitated me....

My experience with mood stabilizers was different from yours because I responded very well to Lamictal and Seroquel (which is an antipsychotic used as a mood stabilizer). What I take now is in Phase II FDA study so they are still researching it. As for mood stabilizers that are FDA approved this list might be of help to you: http://www.psycheducation.org/depression/meds/moodstabilizers.htm as well as this site: http://www.psycom.net/depression.central.

I added another 100 mg of lamictal last night and later this morning. I have staring spells and am prone to seizures at times but I have never felt so foggy and sort of dizzy and out of it. I have schizophrenia and my family doctor thinks it is anxiety. I recently had blood work taken but I am not sure if they regularly test for tia or an impending stroke. The sensations went away after an hour or so. Is this a precursor of something to come or could it be a seizure or anxiety?

I've had two pdocs suggest lamictal and seroquel for bipolar. I think it is a pretty common mix. I was at my most suicidal taking seroquel so I don't think it worked for me, but in hindsight I also didn't give it a fair try. You don't say how you are doing. If you are doing well don't start tampering with things. It is really tempting to play pharmacist but it doesn't always end well. And whatever you do don't go cold turkey off these meds.

I was on lithium and seroquel. Worked wonders. Im only on seroquel now cuz im pennant and it.still works but not as.

I have been taking a number of medications since I turned 21 in 2008, the first being Prozac, Adderall, and Seroquel. I was only prescribed Seroquel for as long as my doctor wanted to "observe possible Bipolar symptoms".... after about 3 months he took me off Seroquel. After years of continued difficulty with bouts of depression, anger/irritability, sleep, I saw a new doctor in 2015 who prescribed Abilify 5mg along with Adderall.

Was reading your comments regarding Lamictal. About a year ago I started Lamictal and was also on seroquel. I started out on Lamictal 50, then 100, then 150, then 200. The seroquel was at 200. I totally flipped my lid and after 23 years out of a hospital ended up in one. Got out on this still. Was at originally 200 Lamictal and 50 Seroquel doing great then this incident. The doctor in there had stopped 5 other psych meds previous which I am grateful for. But home half a day thrown back in.

Talk to your doctor about it, he/she might be able to help you with that. I have been on Lamictal and Seroquel together and never experienced that, but everyone reacts differently. Good Luck!
