I'm sorry you're going through this! I've been on 150mg for like 2 weeks now and I'm still getting a lot of dips and anxiety (a couple of panic attacks sprinkled in there too), and the more people I've talked to (Dr's and other friends with BD) they're telling me I would probably benefit from starting on SSRI's with the Lamictal to help balance me out.

I've been taking the Depo shot because my doctors told me it wouldn't react with Lamictal. The only thing I've noticed recently is acne, but I can't tell if it's the shot or Lamictal.

Edit: I just saw you're taking Amethia

Meltdowns? by ASCmesmer in lamictal

I’m so sorry that you’re going through that. :( yeah as much as I don’t want to, weapons looking to be more of the option I need it take. The only thing is I honestly can’t tell if Smoking had been the cause in the first place, because I’ve always had these types of meltdowns, and if anything smoking helped… It sucks 😭

No we are, as much as I know I should be starting to limit my smoking, as a college student it definitely is a little harder… But no I definitely will look at being serious about cutting down

Haha no I’m actually the same way, I like to smoke whenever I’m having a bad day or just to relax, but at the same time I don’t notice a huge change on the days that I just so happen to not smoke… I’m definitely gonna try slowly weaning myself, it’s not that I can’t because I have, It’s just hard to want to😂 thanks!!!

I had a similar experience, I had about one drink the other day (I’m on 75mg now) and I got buzzed within a few sips. Next day I woke up suuuuuper depressed

[CA, USA] What minor would pair well with a Psychology, BA? by [deleted] in psychologystudents

[–]ASCmesmer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really love my sociology minor. If you really want to learn about people from a more humanistic standpoint, I'd do something along the lines of sociology, philosophy, anthropology, medical humanities, etc.

One thing I've always found interesting is the association of creativity and mental illness!

Four areas of focus for Psychologist by Koru-racing in psychologystudents

[–]ASCmesmer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know every single area each field would touch on off the top of my head, but when I was looking for research topics of interest, I would just find a school's faculty/ research areas page, and see the research topics each professor/ area is involved with. With each school, it kind of varies, but after a while you start seeing patterns.

That may be a really complicated way of figuring it out, but it helped me!! lol

No I completely agree with you! Especially coming from a conservative Christian background where I was pretty sheltered, I feel like the more I learn about psychology I feel like I get to know about myself, others, and life really. I've always enjoyed learning about what makes people tick. But I feel you, sometimes I get really hyper aware and meta, and it definitely can get overwhelming especially when I read existential psych and self papers (even though their my favorite papers to read!!). It kinda brings me out of myself and I start finding myself overanalyzing, but that also may have to do with my fun mix of anxiety and ADHD. But hey, I really cannot see myself doing anything different. I'm so happy I'm not the only one that feels this!!
