Hunh, we have some meds in common. I was pretty terrified by the legendary Lamictal rash when I went on too, but the only side effect I had was frequent headaches.
Me, I'm trying to figure out if my recent improved mood is due to getting my Zoloft increased about six weeks ago, or the frequent loose leaf tea drinking I've been doing for the past week or two (hcolleen enabled me to The Tea Table (http://www.theteatable.com/), I found Dragonwater (http://www.dragonwater.com/) on my own, and a kind soul from the BPAL forums sent me samples of Tempest (http://www.shoptempesttea.com/customer/home.php) and Adagio (http://www.adagio.com/)), which it correlates with pretty much exactly. Sounds really weird, but bot bergamot and lavender are supposed to have antidepressant properties and one of the teas I've been drinking is... lavender Earl Grey. I certainly won't throw out my meds in favor of a cuppa, but I'll be knockin' back that tea regular-like.
I really, really hope your new med adjustment works out well. It can be a really frustrating process. I'm very glad to hear that your pdoc takes time with you and listens to you.
