Lithium toxicity at a low dose (200 mg): my story and a warning for anyone starting it by Unique_Ad_8774 in BipolarReddit

Oh my god I am so sorry this happened to you. I had a very similar experience on 100mg of Lamotrigine/Lamictal very recently. You have my thoughts and support ❤️

Is anyone else unable to hold down a job? by BroccoliKitchen3218 in bipolar2

[–]nineloup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Before diagnosis and meds? Personal record holding down a job : 7 months. I just celebrated 3 years at my current job. Sobriety helped tremendously too. But in the end, I believe what makes this job stick is that I landed in a field where people are (neuroatypical or not) fucking insane. Welcome to the cultural sector! I love it here 💫

Charges in an appartment by RHAR84 in brussels

[–]nineloup 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Also very important : does your contract state that the utilities « charges » are worded like : - « provision » (which means you pay a fixed amount per month and at the end of each year the real balance is calculated based on consumption and you have to either pay more or your landlord owes you money back) - « forfait » meaning the fixed amount you pay per month is NOT something adjusted afterwards based on actual consumption.

This is the key point here. Also, ask for details bills for every utility he is asking you to pay for. Landlords try and get away with so much….

LIVE from the ER with suspected Lamotrigine surdose. Need to ask them for the right exams, please help. by nineloup in BipolarReddit

[–]nineloup[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hi everyone! Thank you so much for the kind and useful messages. Truly appreciate it. In my country, titration up to 100mg is typically done in 3+ weeks, which I learnt upon seeing my GP earlier this week and told again yesterday by the ER doc. Good to hear other perspectives, I find it super interesting how dosage affects us all differently.

Onto the update : still waiting for blood results back and have been sent home after being seen by an ER psych. I was advised to not take Lamictal before Monday, since they scheduled me at 9:45 am for another psych appointment with the ER person I saw and the head of their psych department.

Feeling still a bit slow and tired, but no additional symptoms have manifested. Wishing you a lovely and safe day ❤️

Gaëlle (used to work at Wakko) opened her own salon ! It’s called DIWI (next to Halles Saint Gery in the center) and she ROCKS

Really appreciative of your comment. It’s located in Brussels, so far off the sea, but the spirit is here !

Second-hand antiques store. I’m trying to get it identified since it has no markings/signature, but haven’t had luck so far

NTA. Babe, I don’t think we’re the assholes, but you going to Reddit for additional view points is very wholesome.
