I really want to keep taking it. I take 40 mg. with Lamictal 200 mg. (just bumped the Lamictal up last week) and the side effects are almost incapacitating for the first several hours after I take it -- flushing, super morning sickness like nausea, fatigue, the whole thing -- I can barely function and then it just disappears and I am okay. Maybe the two drugs together are the perfect storm or something.

Has anyone found anything to combat these side effects? I tried ginger and it didn't really help all that much. Has anyone tried to take it at night? I can't take my Lamictal at night because I can hardly wake up in the morning.

uuuuggggghhhh that sounds no fun at all amiegrace... (((((HUGS))))
My pdoc wants to try me on Strat, from ritalin, which is my first ADD drug.
Personally i want to try DEX first....
i hope things improve for you,

Have you tried taking one.. then the other an hour later?

Flushing and stuff? Sounds vascular.

I am not bipolar or seizure-disordered, but I did take another drug (Tegretol) for an off-label medical condition [neuralgia] and had a bad reaction. Antiseizure/mood stabiliizer drugs often seem to have the potential for side effects. (I say this b/c on Rxlist.com it says Lamictal can have some serious side effects.)

Talk to your Doc and see if you are having an interaction or something?

It is a good idea to talk to your Doc anyway (best to get advice or try some other med, under supervision, rather than stopping a med on your own).
