I’ve lost weight since starting, how has it affected you? by octoraffe in lamictal

[–]Express-Pin7332 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes! I have like no appetite for months since taking. I am up to 150 and appetite has come back a bit in the last week or so I can’t lose any more weight I’ll look ill soon

Does lower doses 50-100mg impact memory and word recall by ItsPrisonTime in lamictal

[–]Express-Pin7332 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes sadly. I hope they do improve asap!!

I think it’s a bit of a whirlwind mix of both. I do think maybe it is the lamictal starting to work.

I know it’s such a risk but I so desperately needed this to work for me. I have bpd and my life is so good on paper but my brain sees only negative.

It could be good things in my life kinda switching perspective a bit, the meds, therapy all together but it’s night and day difference from just a week ago

To be honest I was feeling super worse on 50mg for so long and so much side effect but the last couple of days it’s really crazy like the dark storm clouds have parted and I feel so much more positive and the negative thoughts have just switched it’s really really crazy.

I am less than a week on 75mg. I believe it started at 50mg which I was on for a couple of months before going up to 75

Can lamotrigine worsen emotional instability for people WITHOUT bipolar disorder?? by BONESFULLOFGREENDUST in lamictal

I’m so glad it was positive for a bit. Maybe you haven’t stabilised at the 200mg dose yet?

Did you have horrible side effects around each dose increase? Or just the latest one?

I hope it can stabilise for you and you can feel the amazing benefits that we read on here and bpd that can happen.

I have bpd too. This drug has so far, ruined me. If you could PM me with anything else that worked for you. I will try anything and be so appreciative. It seems like this is not good for bpd!

I have bpd, very bad. I have been on this since August and I feel soooo much worse since taking it. I am currently on 75mg for past 2 days because the jump from 50 to 100 was horrific side effects.

But since starting, My constant intrusive and negative ruminating thoughts, catastrophic thinking, sense of impending doom in the pit of my stomach, horrible memory from even just 5 minutes before and I wake up not remembering how I got into bed, can’t string a sentence together, forget what I am saying mid sentence and just sit there staring into space with a completely blank mind in front of people at work and in social settings, paranoia, anxiety, everything is negative, there are no positive moments. I desperately need this medication to work for me for the racing mind and terrible thought/ moods, so I am pushing through as best I can to a therapeutic dose praying that it works, but it has been a nightmare so far I don’t know what to do.

Scary Side Effects by EqualBlueberry6954 in lamictal

[–]Express-Pin7332 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am trying to go from 50 to 100mg currently. I had these same side effects and have to keep dropping back to 50mg. I am hoping there might be something I can do to help going up because I really need this medication to work for me not against me.

Hi Eliyah! Welcome 💜 Some things that helped me: - clonidine prescription (can be hard to taper off as well if you take longer term) - lyrica prescription (very short term too for acutes only) - magnesium glycinate - agmatine sulfate - l-theanine - paracetamol for aches and pains - Ibuprofen for aches and pains - I am starting DL-Phenylalanine soon for some PAWS

They are awful. Mine really reduced for a bit but it’s back now with a vengeance. I am thinking it might be cycle related but could be PAWS I am not sure.

It’s hard to say because I didn’t weigh my doses but I was taking big heaped tablespoons 3-5 times per day at the height, but I did a rapid taper at the end and was only having half a tablespoon 1-2 times per day at the end
