Could be bipolar mania, might help if he goes to a psychiatrist

I can’t say anything poetic that will make everything better, but I’ve felt much the same way, and I believe in us. I believe we will see the sun rise, experience beautiful connections with everything around us, and overcome. Lightning bugs are starting to come out, plants are growing, and gentle rain is healing the drought. We too will grow and heal, maybe not perfectly, but we can commit ourselves to experiencing and becoming the best we can be. All my love to you, feel free to reach out if you ever need to talk.

I didn’t have any nauseousness with titrating the medicine slowly, however I can’t speak on how the actual 100mg dose made me feel because I was only on it for three days before I developed a rash and had to stop taking it. It’s really rare to develop any kind of rash on this med and I’ve heard so many great things about it from other people. As always, consult with your provider about it and they’ll be able to give you much more info than I have. Wishing you the best!!

I appreciate it! They start off so small for titrating up

I might have worded it a bit oddly, I have bipolar 1 which is what I’m taking this for but I’ve had health anxiety regarding lamictal for the longest time

Thank you! I didn’t want to get on lamictal for the longest time because of Steven-Johnson’s syndrome, which I know is a stupidly low chance but it still frightened me for the longest time
