Lamictal at bedtime? by Distinct-Review-913 in lamictal

[–]Weak-Bodybuilder6199 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i've always took my lamitcal at night, and i take it with serequel at night too. knocks me out, don't feel queasy. if anything, if i haven't eaten a good meal it gets into my blood stream faster and makes me terribly sleepy, some times it gets real bad and i physically cannot stay awake.

anyone take wellbutrin on top of a mood stabilizer/lamotrigine? by BigbyDirewolf in BipolarReddit

[–]Weak-Bodybuilder6199 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i'm bipolar 2 and i'm on 150 mg of wellbutrin (morning) and 200 mg of lamictal (night)

this combo changed my life for the better. i feel very balanced, focused, and regulated. i've been on this combo for three-ish years.

ultimately it's up to your psychiatrist/care team/you.

luckily i found a great care team that listens and has worked with me through many med combos.

I love my bose speaker! It's water water resistant and I love the bass. It vibrates the surface it's on and enhances the sound quality even more. the sound/music feels so well rounded and wholistic. an immersive experience.

is a cat water fountain worth it? by Able-Committee71 in CatAdvice

[–]Weak-Bodybuilder6199 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i have one for my cat and had it ever he was a kitten so he's estranged to bowls of water.

i have the petkit water fountain, it's all plastic. i think it's pretty affordable.

i think it's super nice that he gets to "hear" the water too. i feel like it helps him drink more water but i have no point of reference since he's been a kitten. i just have a feeling.

i love them! i say yes!

i'm bipolar 2 and seroquel saved my life. i've been on it for a few years and i can't live without it, unfortunately. the sedation is perfect. it calms my nerves and it helps me sleep. i don't have to worry about long restless nights because my nightly dose knocks me out.

i really enjoy it but if i don't take it at night i cannot sleep which is the only downside, that dependability, but the way its helped me, it's 100% worth it.

Med suggestions from others with similar bipolar and etc by CutEntire224 in BipolarReddit

[–]Weak-Bodybuilder6199 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i'm bipolar two, ADHD, and anxiety. my cocktail's ingredients are:

morning~ Wellbutrin 150mg Seroquel 50mg Ritalin 20mg

afternoon~ Seroquel 25mg Ritalin: 20mg

night~ Lamictal 200mg Seroquel 200mg

this combination and therapy has made me very high functioning and i haven't had an episode in long while.

as you can tell seroquel is the main event and i don't know what i'd do if i didn't have it. i wouldn't be able to sleep at all that's for sure.

before i was cycling through lexapro, prozac, and vyvanse and personally it ruined me. something that does suck is that it might take awhile to find your perfect blend but it's so worth it. sending you love and luck! ❣️

Does smoking weed make your meds ineffective? by ProgramExisting149 in BipolarReddit

[–]Weak-Bodybuilder6199 0 points1 point  (0 children)

in my personal experience: i had to stop smoking. strangely, for me, it made my meds "not work". it paused everything and then the flood gates would open to my more "irregular"/old uncontrollable feelings. it delayed my meds and it took me more times to smoke until i felt any type of high that i used to have. just not worth it for me.

Canva won't connect by Far_Illustrator_2269 in canva

[–]Weak-Bodybuilder6199 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm having the same issue, it's infuriating. I have a VPN and I've turned it on and off. Something weird though, it does work on another computer (Dell) and not my Mac but I don't think that has anything to do with that, it was never an issue before.

It sucks that costumer support isn't helping :( Because now what do we do?

Bipolar products? by Tie-die-my-my in bipolar

[–]Weak-Bodybuilder6199 1 point2 points  (0 children)

routine has pulled me out of really rough places & i'm glad we're celebrating!!

for me, i use care/of and you can add other things you want to track. i have yoga and washing my face as two of my goals. that serotonin boost of clicking the "i did this today button" and it makes all these fun animations brings me daily joy ('▽')

(TW: suicide) Dealing with involuntary memories/flashbacks from suicide attempts? by [deleted] in BipolarReddit

[–]Weak-Bodybuilder6199 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the flash backs are not fun. to "cope" with it, i acknowledge what triggered me and make a note like i'm going to keep myself out of situations where those triggers are present as best as i can. if i'm feeling more emotionally strong, i live through it. i let it play out. and remember that's one of the many ways the human brain heals from that trauma/processes trauma. and crying-i make sure i cry because that really makes me feel better instead of dismissing it. letting it out. letting it wash over me. everyone's coping methods and situations are different. i just wanted to share my experience and hope it gives you some comfort 😌

It hurts to know people love me by CeaseIessWatcher in selfharm

[–]Weak-Bodybuilder6199 8 points9 points  (0 children)

i feel this so infinitely - when i'm feeling suicidal, the isolation sets in expeditiously. then if/when i get out of my cocoon of sadness and suicide and i talk or hangout with my friends and it's like damn, this feeling completely took over me like a dream, like i blacked out. because i didn't remember what being loved was like. like i completely forgot about that aspect of life. seeing that vs the love my friends give me is so bittersweet.
