As answered earlier, daily 300 mg of opipromol is not at all preferred, apart from this, you are taking 150 mg of lamotrigine, that is also a heavy dose, kindly consult to a psychiatrist asap, need to balance your medicines, do not take or quit medicines with out prescription,

Its highly unlikely that a psychiatrist will start anyone with anxiety disorder on lamotrigine and gabapentin. There are other better and safe medicines available in the market. Anyway, for now you should consult a psychiatrist for reassessment and to decide whether these meds can be tapered off and stopped.

Dear lybrate-user,
probably you have been having recurrent attacks of depression more frequently. That is why your doctor has put you on lamitor.

Dear Manny,
Lamotrigine is NOT routinely used in the treatment of OCD. But if your doctor diagnosed your OCD as a symptom of mood disorder, he/she will prescribe lamotrigine. Talk to your doctor about it. In a bipolar mood disorder, OCD, Depression etc are common symptoms.

Dear lybrate-user,
Lamitor Is usually given as a mood stabilizer for a long term use. It can not be stopped even after you feel okay. It prevents future episodes of depression. Probably you may need some antidepressant at present along with lamitor. Discuss with your psychiatrist without stopping lamitor.

Dear lybrate user. I can understand. As you are aware, depression is a neuro chemical disorder and therefore the treatment should be targeted towards enhancing or reducing those chemicals biologically. But these medicines are used for maintaining the balance. In that sense, with the present medicines, you will have to continue forever. I suggest online cognitive therapy. Take care.
