[quote=Anonymous]DD has long history of emotional dysregulation and mild anxiety. She was on Zoloft for many years and then Effexor, both caused her to lack motivation, emotional blunting and gain weight. She is too sensitive to ADHD stimulants. We tried 9 different stimulants and all of them increased the emotional dysregulation and weren't effective. We also tried non-stimulants. New psychiatric nurse practitioner is suggesting either Lamictal or low-dose Lithium. He doesn't really have a recommendation one over the other, other than Lithium has less chance of side effects and Lamictal sometimes stops working after a time. If you have experience with one of the other, or have any other research you've done to share, I'd really appreciate it![/quote]
