I'm new to using Lamactil and Remeron I wanted to know if anyone else takes these meds and how it works for you? My meds were changed I was taking 1050 mg of oxcarbezepine and it depleted sodiums levels and took trazadone but meds were changed to Lamactil and Remeron does anyone have trouble breathing on it?

I have been on Lamictal and Vraylar for about three months and I love it. I recently added Ritalin and I feel great. I’ve tried Seroquel, olanzapine, Cymbalta, Prozac and many others, but I find the current combination works really well.

I take 30mg of Lamotrigine and 200mg of Mirtazapine. I have had no side effects on these medications what so ever. In fact, they help me a lot. I have gained a lot of weight though

@Classycathy Absolutely! Try the cannabis pens. The come in Sativa (energetic high), Indica (a mellow and relaxing high) or blends. You can read on the box to see what the strain type is so you don’t grab the wrong one. I use Indica during my manic episodes. While it doesn’t completely rid me of the mania, but it definitely helps and gives me some relief. I believe you can buy them online. Our friends usually have them on hand so we get ours that way. Good luck!🍀
