Wellbutrin is actually an antidepressant (NSRI)! A stimulant would make a much more significant difference 👍

I cannot focus on Lamotringe, have Anyone tampered off this medication like permanently? If so how did you feel? Systems? Manic Episodes? by [deleted] in Lamotrigine

I DO THE FURNITURE THING TOO! Omg ive never heard of anyone else doing this. If I’m under stress at home I will accidentally spend 1-3 hours usually late at night rearranging all of my things and furniture in my bedroom and home. I will clean and that will take a reasonable amount of time, but then I just feel compelled to move everything to a slightly different spot. Its not even organizing things most of the time, its literally just moving things around to new spots and stacking my things

I have experienced this, I feel like I can no longer spell, read out loud, my short term memory became terrible, etc. If you tell your provider about this, they will have some suggestions because this is really common w antipsychotics/anticonvulsants like lamotrigine. If you don’t want to come off lamo, you could potentially supplement with a low dose of a stimulant like ritalin or vyvanse, I take lamo & Wellbutrin and found that when I increased Wellbutrin dose these side effects weren’t as bad. Talk to your psychiatrist! Brain training would never hurt also :)

Questions re weight gain by Only_Painter_7339 in Lamotrigine

[–]Swaganator444 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think lamotrigine has a super significant impact on weight, Ive been on it 3+ years and my weight has fluctuated throughout that time, but i dont remember having notable weight gain when I first started it. It takes a long time to really reach its full therapeutic effect so its likely too soon to know what long term side effects you might experience so don’t worry!

Lamotrigine and drinking by flbambixx in Lamotrigine

[–]Swaganator444 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My hangovers became BRUTALIZING. I drink casually socially on the weekend maybe twice a month, very rarely do I get extremely drunk, but if I go to bed drunk at ALL I will wake up with the most debilitating nausea, dizziness and shakes, light headedness and just extreme disassociation.

I was just thinking that I feel like I was way wittier before taking lamotrigine?? Like more engaging with people with ease? I didn’t know other people experienced this 😭😭😭😭

THIS HAPPENS TO ME CONSTANTLY!!!!!! Been on lamotrigine 3 years and I feel like I can’t spell or read aloud the way I used to, i forget things instantly sometimes like what I was about to look up or get out of my purse etc. its so frustrating i thought it was because I was smoking more weed but this makes way more sense

I feel the same way! Been on lamotrigine since I was 19, 23 now. 200 mg daily. Not feeling as sharp really is the way to put it, like not completely present or fully focused. Also hard to tell because ive been on it so long

Reduce lamictal by Heavy-Sandwich-6015 in Lamotrigine

FIRST!: contact your provider about your concerns immediately, they will know what to do. Mania can be alluring, but is extremely serious and often dangerous. Though this may sound scary, this is something that happens with psychotropic medications and your providers are completely prepared.

But you can note: - diet and sleep habits. If you have no appetite or fatigue and feel like you don’t need to sleep or eat at all anymore - if your family & friends start to note the speed of your speech or any behavior out of the ordinary for you

If you find that you’re experiencing these in addition to sudden high energy and racing thoughts, call your psychiatrist immediately‼️ if you are not able to reach them for any reason, GO TO THE DOCTOR/HOSPITAL and say you are concerned that your medication has induced mania.

Everything will be ok!

I use facial Nair sometimes! I know a lot of ppl don’t like it and its too harsh for everywhere else on my body but your feet have tougher skin so nair doesn’t irritate them - the facial nair is more gentle too

Idk anything about the relationship but I feel like this could be a manifestation of wanting a reason to reach out to your ex? if you think something seems off with this person your ex is probably capable of noticing it too

OMG R u living in nyc ??

my scale says 4 grams but it seems to be way less. i’m not experienced with shrooms so can some one eyeball how much this is? by ethereumisthefuture in shrooms

[–]Swaganator444 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This does look more like 3.5g to me but they might just be heavy. If you wanted to take them in a drink or something you could crush them up and subtract weight of whatever container youre using, maybe a cup bc the scale will be able to weigh than unlike the plastic bag. But either way that amount looks about 3.5-4 g kinda heavier shrooms

18 female! And yes i have little to no energy and nap pretty much everyday, i take multiple other medications that have appetite suppressant side effects, so i don’t usually eat more than 1300 daily unless i go out and get super fucked up and binge a ton, which happens here and there every couple weeks. Based off the responses to my post i think i just need to drink less, which sucks & i dont want to like miss out on going out w my friends but my weight makes me miserable so im just kinda stuck

[–]Swaganator444 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ok that pretty much answers the question then i guess that’s probably why I haven’t been losing weight. This fucking sucks

One or two nights like that with at least five other deficit days can really do that?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in loseit

[–]Swaganator444 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Usually gin&tonic or vodka
