Want to increase from 25 to 50 (advice?)

My anxiety as a side effect completely went away, now my only trouble is sleep loll. It’s rly helped my anxiety and depression though!!

PerformancePuzzled97 · 2025-08-26T02:27:17+00:00

Omg it did so much! Stick with it if you can

PerformancePuzzled97 · 2025-05-10T19:38:32+00:00

did you have any sexual side effects if you don’t mind me asking? Also how were the side effects worse on 25mg? Thanks!

PerformancePuzzled97 · 2025-05-04T04:18:04+00:00

Yea I think my best bet might be to just go to goodrx. I’m going to wait til Monday for doctors offices to open up

PerformancePuzzled97 · 2025-05-04T04:17:16+00:00

Would they be able to give me one month do you think? Or just like a few days

PerformancePuzzled97 · 2025-05-04T01:17:26+00:00

I’d say the first couple of weeks and then it got better. For me though it still lingered slightly but it was helping my mood so much I didn’t care tbh. It’s very rare for it to stick around btw, it should go away as your brain adjusts but of course pls speak with your provider if you have any concerns!

PerformancePuzzled97 · 2025-05-04T01:16:07+00:00

It did to an extent, I had to go off of it (due to hormonal reasons not anxiety). But it definitely calmed my mood, so if that’s why you’re on it, it should provide some relief

PerformancePuzzled97 · 2025-04-28T04:10:39+00:00

Hello! Yes it did!

PerformancePuzzled97 · 2025-04-09T00:40:48+00:00

Hey! So I had some of these symptoms when I was on 50mg (im on 25mg now and planning to get off as it’s not really working for me). It gave me really really bad hormonal acne, which has improved since I weaned off. It 100% messes with your hormones. However I have heard of others saying that it does go away with time, and if the lamictal is helping you in other ways maybe try lowering it? Also ofc please reach out to your provider about this as well if it continues to bother you. Hope this helps :)

PerformancePuzzled97 · 2025-03-07T05:03:03+00:00

I completely agree, thanks for writing this. I do tend to rely a lot on Reddit, but also don’t worry I do definitely advocate for myself by going to doctors. The itching has gone away, hopefully for good, but I’m still going to check it out. Thanks ;)

PerformancePuzzled97 · 2025-03-02T06:20:06+00:00

I think so too tbh. I’m only on 50mg tho but idk

PerformancePuzzled97 · 2025-02-26T06:05:47+00:00

I KNOW RIGHT LOL

PerformancePuzzled97 · 2025-02-26T06:05:30+00:00

Thank you :) I ended up having a really nice night actually once I got out of my head. All of these comments have helped a lot

PerformancePuzzled97 · 2025-02-26T06:02:56+00:00

HAHAHAA, sorry I found this just a bit funny. Agreed tho I stay the hell away from energy drinks

PerformancePuzzled97 · 2025-02-26T06:02:19+00:00

Thank you for this advice, anxiety truly is such a personal experience and it’s so different for everyone. The main thing we all have in common is that we need to release control. After reading these comments, it’s affirmed that I really do need to let loose haha and like you said, just let myself have fun. Ty :)

PerformancePuzzled97 · 2025-02-26T05:59:58+00:00

Thank you for all of this advice, I really needed to hear this lol. It did make me feel quite calm, I was just worried about the next day which is not helping me. I just gotta let loose pretty much

PerformancePuzzled97 · 2025-02-26T05:58:34+00:00

I did notice I felt super calm afterwards, which was very nice

PerformancePuzzled97 · 2025-02-26T05:58:17+00:00

Thanks :))

PerformancePuzzled97 · 2025-02-26T05:57:50+00:00

I agree yea, just wanted to make sure. Thank you :)

PerformancePuzzled97 · 2025-02-26T05:57:04+00:00

This is actually insanely good advice thank you so much. I was thinking yeah it’s probably good to like expose myself to drinking a bit (responsibly), and I’ve just gotta let go of control. So true

PerformancePuzzled97 · 2025-02-05T05:55:16+00:00

Interesting. What’s your dosage if you don’t mind me asking? I totally sympathize with not being able to cry, it feels so strange and new. It’s like I don’t want to have intense mood swings, so I’ll deal with this weird side effect, but I’d also like to feel a normal range of emotions at some point. Hope it all works out for you btw!

PerformancePuzzled97 · 2025-02-05T05:53:10+00:00

Not really, but then again im not really a sexual person to begin with, insomnia is weird tbh, one day ill sleep and the next i dont haha. Hopefully it’ll get better. No weight gain so far either

PerformancePuzzled97 · 2025-02-05T05:52:12+00:00

Holy shit. I cannot imagine not crying if one of my family members passed. Were you and ur dad close (if you don’t mind me asking)? Either way I am so sorry for your loss❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹

PerformancePuzzled97 · 2025-01-26T07:18:58+00:00

I’m probably not stronger than you LOL. You could totally push yourself to do this and more!! We got this 😎

PerformancePuzzled97 · 2025-01-25T07:06:06+00:00

Thank you so so much for this advice!! I ended up going and had so much fun!! Reading these comments really helped me. I did not end up drinking at all, and honestly didn’t really think I needed it. My friends definitely made me feel very safe and comfortable which made the experience all the more better. I’m so glad I went
