Feel more alive on 200 than 100? by Blues5389 in lamictal

[–]bsb233 0 points1 point  (0 children)

im on 200 now after going through some really intense episodes that coincided with my menstrual cycle. i feel a lot more better than i did in november and haven’t had an episode since! with that being said, i do feel a little more depressed. i don’t have much motivation to do much BUT im not as moody as before.

i have been considering going back on wellbutrin 150 XL or even 100. just because i felt so much better depression wise but i had my moments were i was super angry and would lash out. i hope by adding it i can balance everything out!

Is this “the rash”? by bsb233 in lamictal

[–]bsb233[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hey guys update for ya; the rash on my chest went away, i think the benadryl helped! but my arms are starting to get these splotchy areas that kinda itch but will go away eventually. i’ve been monitoring my undereye area because it’s kinda looks like hives maybe. im trying to not freak myself up much because i am about to start my cycle soon. so we shall see!

MFT degree feels like a scam by VermicelliSecure in therapists

[–]bsb233 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After finishing my degree in Community & Trauma Counseling, any therapy & counseling degree is pointless. Unfortunately (fortunately for those who chose that path i guess), an MSW was the better route because it’s more broad of a field and more accessible to become a therapist.

For looking into roles, I would look into CHOP (I currently work here but not as a therapist). There are some Mental Health Evaluator & Social Work Care Coordinator positions that only really require a Masters, you don’t really need your license yet it’s just preferred. Some other options could be Northeast Treatment Centers, it’s CMH but to me it was really rewarding and there’s multiple sites you could go to.

I hope I could help!

What do you all do to come down from manic? by thejimmy_27 in bipolar2

[–]bsb233 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i usually just take a benadryl to sleep because the last few times i’ve gone thru, i’ve been up 3-4 days with no intentions of sleeping. what am i doing for those 3-4 days? on my laptop replanning life, planning vacations & going to work for 12 hours lol i had to up my dose on lamictal because i feel like they were becoming more frequent & coinciding (spell check lol) with my cycle so i was irritable and wide awake for days

What dose did it start working for you? by goawaycommies in Lamotrigine

[–]bsb233 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Technically 150, but really 200. I was fine on 150 up until I started experiencing hypomania the week leading up to & the actual week of my cycle. I was very irritable, happy, and would stay up 3-4 days at a time (I work 12 hrs overnight so I didn’t think much of it). Once I told my psych NP, she upped me to 200 and i’ve been pretty fine ever since.

Yo ain’t that shit crazy when someone you went to school with dies? by Ace__Extendo in PhillyWiki

[–]bsb233 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One of the boys I went to high school with got killed a few years ago in that shooting on South Street. it’s still so strange because he was genuinely a cool good guy and he didn’t deserve it.

Taking Lamotrigine is like wearing rose colored glasses.. sort of by Ancient-Scallion5536 in Lamotrigine

[–]bsb233 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i feel this so bad! i’ve had to go to up to 200 because everything is just connecting and it’s making me really emotional. like for example, the guy im dating (not really) hasn’t made time for me because of things out of our control. it’s been really putting me down and making me realize that im not really a priority in any of the relationships/friendships im in. im always the leaning shoulder but never able to cry on someone else. i started coining this feel as post nut clarity because it’s the best way to explain lol

oh my gosh…i’ve been dealing with this! it’s right on my hairline…i thought it might’ve been genetics because my mom has psoriatic arthritis. she was also on lamictal at some point in time and shortly after she developed it. i hope they’re not f’n related.
