Trimix and perscription drugs
|

| Has anyone any information on drug interaction between Trimix and
perscription drugs. I have found that if I take my Lamictal it renders the
Trimix completely inneffective. Could this be in my head? Has anyone else
had similar experiences with perscription drugs rendering Trimix
ineffective? I am desperate for answers. Thanks in advance, Court182

I'm the group newbie to Trimix and if you read my earlier post, you'll
note that I was searching for something to render Trimix ineffective
yesterday afternoon. Most of the prescription meds that affect Trimix
response are going to be those that Jerry has in his basic FAQ (alt
support impotence FAQ, last posted here on 6/25/06 at 0646.) I just
awoke from heavy doses of prescribed meds that finally knocked me
down--five cups of coffee may have helped. And, many OTC meds like
Sudafed are effective antagonists unless one doses too heavily. >>:-O
Sorry this is long. I see the word, "if" in the second sentence of your
post so I'm going to assume (bad practice) that you are not taking this
for epilepsy or anything similar. So, I'm going to address this as a
'mood stabilizer' question. If this isn't so, please stop reading now
as I don't understand any of the epilepsy issues or the relationships
between E.D. and epilepsy. I have no clue as to the differences in dose
levels between the two applications for Lamictal.
First, I'm not a doctor. Depend on your own M.D. for this. I do have a
brown belt in DBSA & NAMI meetings on the "Family & Friends" side of the
house and am an occasional 'quiet guest' in the patient sub-groups.
(I've got about 6 years of meeting experience and an additional 6 years
watching my spouse's use of anti-seizure meds as mood stabilizers.)
Assuming that you are taking this for a mood condition, please remain
compliant and work with your doc and your own support circle.
Before you jump to any conclusions, try to ascertain from your doctor
whether you are having an allergic reaction to Lamictal; or, if this is
a drug interaction. (This may be tough--I'd hazard a guess that there is
little investigative data that discusses interaction since Trimix is a
compounded mixture, not a proprietary drug.)
My wife reacted to Lamictal by loosing most of her hair in the third
week of use. She falls into a very small group (about 3%) of users with
skin reactions to this drug. Good news was that the hair started growing
back in less than a month. My wife and I feel that Lamictal titrates
somewhat faster than the other anti-seizure meds that she's used as mood
stabilizers which is good news if you are going off it--however
everyones mileage is different on these drugs.
If this was prescribed by a Psychiatrist you might ask to consult with a
Neurologist. If it was prescribed by a Neurologist for epilepsy you
might broaden your range of resources by visiting with folks in the
Depression-BiPolar Support Alliance (DBSA) and National Alliance for
Mental Illness (NAMI).
Over the last year I've listened to a handful of Lamictal users. About
1/2 of those folks are quite happy and view Lamictal as an effective
mood stabilzer with few/no noticeable side effects. The others have
been switched to another mood stabilizer, usually as a result of an
adverse physical reaction rather than a neurological reaction. Most of
these users were women and I've not heard of a Trimix interaction;
however, mood disorder support groups are not known for sharing sexual
side effect complaints even though those are very real, very significant
and quite widespread.
There's plenty of info on Lamictal on the Web. Like: <
http://www.rxlist.com/cgi/generic/lamotrigine_ad.htm >.
I will be at a DBSA meeting next Monday (7/3). That's a holiday meeting
and attendance will be sparse but I'll ask if there's any local
experience on Lamictal with any E.D. med. Will try to identify a better
resource for information. If you drop me a direct email with your
address, I'll let you know what I find out.
Remember that there are many alternative meds in this family (Depacote,
Trileptal etc.) and you may be able to find one that suits your needs.
I know that the search for the 'right' med is difficult and titration
periods are lengthy. Please stay compliant and depend on your doc and
support circle.
You have my best wishes for a good solution ...Lmac
(It was prescribed as a mood stabilizer.) This is considered quite rare
by her psychiatrist.
