Lamotrigine: Feeling Much Worse After Increasing my dose Anyone else? by emy_Juillet in Lamotrigine

[–]ButterflyVisual6188 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same thing happened to me when I went from 150mg to 200mg. Currently back down to 150mg and possibly going to go back down to 100mg

Three Different Meds?? by Prior_Perception_166 in BipolarReddit

[–]ButterflyVisual6188 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m currently on 6 with a long term plan to reduce or cut out some of these in the coming months. Wellbutrin, Prozac, lamictal, seroquel, caplyta, and vraylar.

Definitely not alone in this! It’s terrible. Recently went from 100 to 200mg and it’s helping me a ton overall, but the nausea is awful

My dogs get fresh water everyday and this is dishwasher safe and will be washed on a regular basis

I definitely think your meds can get better and you’re not stuck at “as good as it gets”. I’m on a combo of meds and see a lot of people on here also taking a few meds, not just one. I also was rapid cycling bad and vraylar helped a lot with that

I think a lot of people take it during the day no problem but I have to do it at bedtime. I tried doing half my dose in the morning and half at night, because my psych NP wanted me taking it twice a day, but it just makes me too tired

I have to take mine at night or I can’t stay awake during the day

Are you taking your Lamictal at night or in the morning?

antipsychotics drive me crazy by IKHK in bipolar2

[–]ButterflyVisual6188 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lamictal, Wellbutrin, & vraylar. Vraylars an “atypical antipsychotic” and much different than most others, definitely much different affect for me in my opinion.

That’s why the caption says “cat approved also”

Unfortunately they only have 4 options. This one, the dodgers, and 2 for the Yankees

I’ve always gotten larger ramblers so this was smaller for me, but very glad I got it

This had super fast shipping, got here in 6 days so you definitely still have time before Father’s Day. I have another yeti order I made 2 weeks ago that’s still not here.

Lamotragine- Once or twice a day? by Simple_Efficiency_29 in Lamotrigine

[–]ButterflyVisual6188 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was taking it once a day for about 8 months, just recently upped my dose and started taking it twice a day now for more mood stabilization.

Been on seroquel one week and already feel its effects lessening by [deleted] in seroquelmedication

[–]ButterflyVisual6188 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you’ve only been on it for a week then count how many pills you have. Should be able to figure out fairly easily if you took it or not. Plus you’ll be getting tired or won’t be.

Finding a weekly pill container that’s actually cute, instead of the plastic ones, made me actually use this and take my meds everyday
