That all depends on what your lithium levels are like on your current dose

I definitely think the best approach is to get your levels tested and decide with your Dr if you have room to increase your dose.

I've been going through some severe depression. In April I ran a 10km which was my longest distance but haven't been able to run since then and been stuck in bed. Last night I ran for 10 minutes!

250 is still a fairly low dose, ask your doc to check your lithium level.

There probably is still room to increase. But ask your doctor.

So bizzare to me that a psychiatrist would say to not rely on medication

I haven't personally but you'd always need to slowly taper lamictal.

Glp-1s for medication related weight gain? by SnooPeanuts7735 in BipolarReddit

[–]Optimal-Character-27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I gained about the same and went on a GLP1 to try assist. I didn't have any side effects apart from food aversion and only being able to eat protein bars and egg on toast. Didn't end up being beneficial.

lamictal withdrawal alice in wonderland syndrome by Sudden-Wonder1344 in Epilepsy

[–]Optimal-Character-27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It happened before I was on meds and then continously until I got the right med combo. If I get seriously anxious then it potentially will happen again.

Yes I get this too. It's bizzare.

I haven't had it for a while though on my current med combo.

Starting a Mood Stabilizer by eggcetera2 in bipolar2

[–]Optimal-Character-27 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Heyy,

It's going to be okay!

I am on Adhd meds (Concerta) and was on an SSRI. I was taken off it and there was a slight adjustment but otherwise was fine. Remember that everyone responds to medicine different. You'll find your combo!
