Hi,
You did not mention the symptoms you were suffering from before intake of these medications.Do you have any past history of epilepsy or psychiatric disorder? What was your body weight? Oxylite pro is a drug which accelerates fat burn.It also reduces apetite. In short, it helps to reduce body weight. As it contains caffeine, it will help you in remaining awake.Lamictal contains lamotrigine which may make you dizzy or drowsy or cause blurred vision. Do not drive, use machinery, or do any activity that requires alertness or clear vision until you are sure you can perform such activities safely. Limit alcoholic beverages. Cipralex contains escitalopram 10 mg which is used primarily for treatment of major depressive disorder, generalised anxiety in adults.It can also cause insomnia, drowsiness, somnolence as long term side effects. Another side effect is weight gain with cipralex. Probably your doctor prescribed oxylite pro to counteract the sleepiness induced by cipralex and lamictal.Reducing the dose of cipralex may help you. Don't make an attempt of abrupt withdrawl of cipralex or lamictal. It seems you are still suffering from depression. But it is difficult to opine about your current dosage without knowing your detailed past history. Hope, I satisfied your queries. For further queries, please send a detailed past history along with reports you have done.
Thanks.
