Hi Jen!
I also had gastric bypass in 2007. Lamotrigine worked for me after the surgery in 2009 or so. My doctor put me back on it, but I don’t feel I’ve gotten the energy
Or relief from my bipolar disorder that I got before. I take 125mgs morning and night. Have you experienced this? I’m also taking Cymbalta as I suffer from Fibromyalgia. I take 90mgs In the morning.
Recently Trintellix 10mg in the morning only but can’t tell any difference. I get instant relief from Abilify but hate the weight gain.
Abilify gives me instant get up and go after
I take it the first night. What have you tried as far as meds?
I’m getting really discouraged because what worked before is not doing the same anymore. Doctors have told me our bodies change so normal we don’t get the same result.

EVERYONES'S physico- chemical system is different. Had to stop Lyric and Cymbalta after only one day due to side effects. In fact, oneCymbalta put me in hospital. We have to remember that when pharma companies conduct clinical trials in order to get FDA approval for their drug the trial is based upon about only 1500 people. also age is specifically excluded in these trials. I'm 84 years old; so that may be part of my problem. It is definitely known that the elderly are usually affected differently from medications than the general population,

I have to add that the Lamotrigine would totally lift my pain when I went to bed. The only unpleasant side effects were weight gain and SEVERE HOT FLASHES AT NIGHT AND DURING THE DAY WHEN I WAS TEACHING.
It’s very discouraging to have had such good results from the Lamotrigine before and not so much the s time. No pain relief but at least no
Hot flashes.
