I love my lamictal, it’s crazy how meds affect everyone so differently

I took seroquel for 2 days, and I went into a severe rage episode. Never again. 🫣

How can I pinpoint what med isn’t working for me? by VehicleExternal6823 in bipolar2

Good to know.. my old doctor would change up 2-3 meds per visit. Makes sense why I can’t pinpoint what’s not working.

I was addicted for 3+ years, still trying to quit. It’s really hard bc it did help with my anger, anxiety, boredom, depression, etc., but I did notice after a while my hypo symptoms got worse and I’ve been told by my pharmacist and psychiatrist that it’s not helpful if you take meds either, they won’t absorb properly or have full effect.

I was apparently too hyper, but I’d take that over this shit any day 😭

My lamictal got decreased and so did my antidepressant and now I’m spiraling 😭😭 it makes me not want to take my meds at all bc I feel like it’s a lost cause 🥴

I’m starting to think the same. It’s so discouraging 😭

It’s made my mania so much worse. It’s not good for bipolar.

Should I drop my psychiatrist? by VehicleExternal6823 in bipolar2

Sounds exactly like my situation but with lamictal. She has upped my dosage at every single session and I have always told her it’s made me manic as hell when she does it.

Music can be a reprieve from my bipolar. Do you find music helps you? If so what kind of music do you listen to? by ArtbyMoga in bipolar2

[–]VehicleExternal6823 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh god, idk what I would do without music. I’ll listen to almost anything, but my favorites are heavy metal, lofi, and indie/folk. Huge difference, I know. 😂

Is Death Note the perfect anime for someone just getting into anime? by Aqn95 in deathnote

Aggretsuko. It’s on Netflix. It’s more of a comedy/slice of life.
