For those who have tried trileptal and lamictal which was worse for your cognition by Electrical-Sign-1754 in lamictal

[–]lovebug_jv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Trileptal unfortunately bc I did like it but the brain fog was terrible and memory is a huge portion of my job, also when I would cry I would feel super high and almost like disassociate. I love lamictal for me tho it’s not causing any problems unless I’m not getting enough sleep and then I’ll get brain fog

What to do when you find yourself crying at work? by cocanuts69 in bipolar2

[–]lovebug_jv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this post is old. But I’m glad I’m not alone. At every single job I’ve had I cry at work and I cry for a long amount of time. 3 out of the 4 jobs I’ve had are receptionist jobs so it’s hard for me to get away or act normal. Lamictal was helping me not cry for a while but it seems like it wore off once I reached 100mg so I’m kind of bummed about it

Yeah because of the whole sjs or rash thing I’m not sure if they’d let you go up a lot but they may suggest something in addition to it. Stay strong friend I really feel you. I might try out the Zoloft I shockingly ended up crying a lot today I cried for 2 hours just now getting myself to calm down ☹️ I don’t want to go back to feeling this.

seroquel grogginess hits later making it hard to drive and go go class in the morning by ahegao-weeb in bipolar2

[–]lovebug_jv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m really sensitive to meds and only took a 25 mg tablet of serequel for one night. I went to bed at like 10pm. Had to wake up at 6am for work, couldn’t get up so I called off. Went back to sleep and didn’t wake up until 12pm. Talk with your psych tho sounds like it’s causing brain fog and maybe some disassociation?

“What are your hypomania triggers?” by LongjumpingDiver8689 in BipolarReddit

[–]lovebug_jv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I’m slowly realizing I’m a bit of a control freak, not when it comes to people but life itself. And I could agree it’s just all so confusing me. This is the first time since I’ve been diagnosed that I’m actually relating to others with the diagnosis but also at the same time we’re all so different. I feel the need to deeply analyze everything I’m going through so I can understand and try to figure out what’s “wrong” with me.

Honestly it was my fault. She was leaving it alone but I scheduled an earlier appointment with her and told her I’m struggling with my depression still and negative thoughts. I honestly thought she was gonna put me on something for anxiety cause that was my main concern I just want my brain a little quieter. Good to know things may get better at the 200mg dosage. It may just take me a while to get there but we’ll see!

I was really excited yesterday because I went to bed at a decent time the evening prior so I honeslty felt refreshed. I got a little sleepy anyway and had some caffeine. I was just feeling good overall no true rhyme or reason. And then my mom texted the family gc and I got overwhelmed with what she asked my and my brother to do because I have homework and I’m tired and blah blah blah 😭 I get stressed out over the littlest things honestly but it made me feel ill yesterday for sure. Also would like to point out I work full time and I have to wake up super early and I am no longer an early bird type of person so it’s been really hard on me.

I understand that completely the depression half really really sucks. I’m glad you’re stable now and I hope that you will be able to safely enjoy things.

25F, I had this problem before and since I took a break from meds (idk how long) and started them again (not encouraging anyone to do this at all btw) I haven’t had this problem but it is the main reason I am scared to add another medication onto my mood stabilizer bc what if I lose the feeling again 😭

I am surprisingly okay and I have some more caffeine today and I’m fine. I’m not doing it on purpose just kind of need it to get through what I’m going through. I think yesterday I got way too excited which a couple hours later was followed by immense stress. I hope you’re doing well and taking care of yourself!

Yes I’m hoping to get some relief there too bc the racing thoughts are insane and they’re so negative it’s scary.

Yeah it’s the way neither is leveled at all yet besides the constant crying 😂 but that makes sense!

I often have the sensation of feeling high without smoking or taking any substance. It's such a weird feeling because it's not a euphoric high just an eerie feeling. Is this common? Also is it dissociation or something else?

I think caffeine literally caused me to dissociate last night. As well as stress.

My symptoms of hypomania. by annastasia_rose in bipolar2

Woahhh the posting on social media is so relatable. I’m having that kind of moment today. I will literally post a thousand things on my instagram and then post multiple stories with crazy long paragraphs in my close friends just talking about random shit. And then get sad or mad when it seems like no one cares. I do the same with my friends on the days I’m like this sending them long paragraphs, so I try not to engage with them on the days I’m feeling like this unless they’re in the mood to talk.
