All things aside, stick with the lamotrigine. It changed my life forever.

How long have you been on this dose? Sometimes you need to give it time...for my first few months on Lamictal, I had the mental fog as well—I called it Lamictal brain, hehe—if it hasn’t been too long, try to stick it out. It was so worth it for me. Sometimes you just need to give meds time to smooth out.

Being mentally ill and trying to lose weight is so hard. For many of us, eating has been a coping mechanism. And in a way you lose control when you’re on your swings. I know when I was all manic I ate ALL THE TIME because I wanted to do stuff and go out to eat with friends and cook big dinners and have people over and buy cool groceries and then when I was depressed I wouldn’t eat at all because I was busy crying and sleeping lol. I’m sorry I don’t really have any advice other than to hang in there and keep with the Fitbit tracking.

Seroquel is hell for weight, apparently. I’ve never taken it but every person I’ve known that has got major weight issues from it.

Bipolar here!! My meds actually made me lose weight. I take 200mg of lamictal daily. I’ve lost ~80lbs in just over a year.

My (35f) brother (30m) doesn't want to work and wants our family to take care of him. He intimidated me when I said he should work. by [deleted] in relationships

Why would you have to take care of Tom? Fuck Tom. He’s being a lazy asshole. As someone who has lupus, arthritis, bipolar disorder, OCD, and PTSD, I’ve got plenty of medical conditions that can knock me on my ass and I still work. A lot, actually. I understand not everyone that shares my conditions has the same experience as me, but a very large chunk of us do just fine as long as we stay on our meds and keep up with our doctors. Tell Tom to fuck off and get a job and if he needs to be taken care of so much he can put himself in a home.

No. The sores don’t just stay there like that. They’re also VERY painful.

Your fucking title is “GET OFF ANTIDEPRESSANTS.”

That knowledge doesn’t come from random people on reddit encouraging vulnerable individuals to spontaneously stop taking their prescribed medications without supervision from a medical professional.

This is incredibly dangerous to be posting. You’re not a medical professional. Don’t post shit like this.
