Took the Zoloft but not the Ritalin.

Yes

Wow I took Phenergan last night so I could have a deeper sleep and I practically slept all of today as well. I even took dexamphetamine when I got up but that wasn't enough, I went back to bed and slept some more.

You must have really needed the sleep.

Most of my medication has been taken.  Another 100mg of Lamictal is scheduled later tonight, and maybe some Niaspan too.  I'm supposed to be taking 60mg of Prozac a day, but I'm going to try to go down to 40mg and maybe get my psychiatrist to take me off Prozac completely next time I see her.

Seems like almost everyone is on medication these days.  Better living through chemistry!

I used to take 250mg of Lamictal, that was an excellent medication while it lasted. It is really expensive here in Australia though.

What other antidepressants have you tried? And what are you keen on trying?

I've tried so many medications I can't remember them all.  Luvox was what I was on before I switched to Prozac.  My first week on Prozac I felt GREAT, but my good mood diminished very quickly.  Maybe it was just a placebo effect, I was really depending on it to be a life-saver.  :-\

I don't know what drugs I might want to try next.  My psychiatrist is planning to up my dosage of Lamictal soon, so I might request to just try that by itself for a while.  Sorry you couldn't keep on the Lamictal, it's easily been the best drug I've tried.

Have you had any problems with heartburn while on prozac?  I had it very bad and that was one of the reasons I switched to a different med at the time

Nope, no heartburn.  The only side effect I've noticed is: Anorgasmia (inability to achieve orgasm), & Genital anesthesia.

Not cool, man.  Don't make my weenie sick.
