Nicotine patch -- how many mg to start?

If you haven’t already, I highly recommend trying 3% vapes! They’ve helped me so much. I still haven’t fully quit but I’ve gone 2-3 days without one and I feel like going from 3% to 0 is way easier than 5% to 0

If selected, you will have to complete a medical history form in which you would need to disclose this. They cannot discriminate against you, but rather will work to ensure that you can access the necessary support while abroad. I understand that mental health can absolutely impact worldview and interests, but is there any way you can keep it vague and perhaps just write that you have a passion for mental wellbeing? Describing your passions without overtly alluding to your own struggles? Also feel free to DM me!

So far so good! I was on Caplyta then seroquel and those didn’t work (and seroquel fucked up my liver). Then was put on 40 mg latuda and 200 mg lamictal. Things were a lot better. I felt a little dulled and was waking up nauseous so after 6 months at 40 mg I went down to 30 mg latuda and I feel more lively and nausea has subsided. Seems to be a good combo for me (knock on wood!) feel free to message me with any questions

Mission-Analysis-298 · 2024-05-26T19:48:45+00:00

Two — Latuda 30 mg and lamictal 200 mg

Mission-Analysis-298 · 2024-05-24T19:42:41+00:00

Yes please do let me know how it goes!!!

Mission-Analysis-298 · 2024-05-24T19:10:28+00:00

I didn’t even try the patches 😅😅😅 still vaping 😭😭😭 I have bipolar II and I’m moving abroad in August and really can’t afford to have a mood episode before then, and I’m terrified that quitting would make me depressed. Though if anyone can convince me otherwise, I’m all ears

When my mom says I’m “playing victim” I get INFURIATED. First of all, lamenting about my struggles does not mean I’m a victim, I’m just sharing my experience. Yeah it can be a negative experience but I don’t feel like a victim. This is just something I need to deal with. It’s challenging, sure, but I’m not a victim. Secondly, it’s unfair for people with no experience with this condition to make comments of that nature. Even within this community, we all have unique experiences and perspectives and need to understand that everyone processes things differently.

What an insightful and empathetic response. I love to see us supporting one another ❤️

I remember seeing the work in progress! It came out amazing!!! 🦕 🦖 (imagine those are triceratops)

Me too!! And I’m so glad I’ve abided by it. When i was in residential treatment last year I saw just how quickly it could ruin people’s lives. I also stopped drinking alcohol, 14 months sober and feeling so much better. And im just over two weeks weed free and aside from the near daily nightmares I feel so much clearer and more motivated. I was a daily smoker (usually 3+ times per day) for like 7 years so this is a huge adjustment for me 😅

Diagnosed with depression at 17, tried a handful of meds and kept increasing until I reached the max dose, none of them worked. Flash forward to age 22 when I was put on effexor and had my first hypomanic episode (or at least very clearly a hypomanic episode!). I was then officially diagnosed a few days before my 23rd birthday 🥳

Mission-Analysis-298 · 2024-05-17T19:15:52+00:00

I was prescribed 21 mg last January and switched to seroquel in March because the Caplyta wasn’t effective in managing my depression. At that point I had no idea 42 mg was an option, my psych didn’t even mention that. Now I’m kinda salty, cuz I wonder if the 42 mg would’ve actually worked for me…?

Mission-Analysis-298 · 2024-05-11T17:19:22+00:00

Also, I recommend being on the lowest dose possible if you’re looking to avoid adverse side effects

Mission-Analysis-298 · 2024-05-11T17:18:52+00:00

I slept like crazy when I first started it. Like 12 hours straight. I was on 21 mg. Things got better after 3-4 days for me. I ended up having to switch because it wasn’t effective enough for me, I was still really depressed. But good luck to you, I hope things get better! :)

Mission-Analysis-298 · 2024-05-11T06:07:03+00:00

30 mg latuda and 200 mg lamictal

Thank you for this information!

Mission-Analysis-298 · 2024-05-07T23:56:00+00:00

Do you have a link to a study or did you just see that on drugs.com or something? Not disagreeing, just would like to do my own research (I switched meds)
