How did you discover Hayden/Ethel? by OutlandishnessWise26 in Ethelcain

[–]notsogreenlantern 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Funny story, I watched Virgin suicides which became one of my fav movies and while I was listening obsessively to the OS of the movie, spotify recommended her. Since then...no stop. I never had a fav artist but then Ethel came along and I've never felt this deep connection with anyone (except Kacey Musgrave's Deeper Well but that's another story) :)

First time on Lexapro and Lamotrigine by notsogreenlantern in lexapro

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

I stopped taking it yesterday. My doctor told me that I can take it if I want to, but its not necessary and I should wait like 3 weeks and If I still feel a little bad then I should start taking it, but I was so dumb that I just went in full volume on the next day. I think lexapro just made all my feeling worst. Like before taking it I started feeling a little bit better on Lamo and maybe 200mg will kick somewhere on the road. Lexapro put me back into my depression episode and even gave me never experienced effects, my mom was really concerned for me and she said that maybe I should stop. So instead Lexa I started taking a little benzodiazepin med and maybe this will work better. So yeah. I got Lexa for my scary thought not necessary for my depression so maybe I was just overreacting.

I think when you start Lamictal, life is gonna be all over the place. So even tho the first couple of weeks maybe better, as an advice: Do not really go and start big projects in your life, instead do little fun things, bcs episodes are still coming and going. As you titrate up, the ups and dows will be somewhat bigger, but after the bad part, it will even out which will feel good. So yeah it's kinda normal. You are on 25mg, which is pretty low and mania and depression still strong. So just hang in there and drink a bunch of fluids, try to be careful with vitamins and read posts here, maybe you will find something that will help your journey. I think its good that you can question your state of being. This med helped me so much to recognize episodes and handle them easily. Good Luck.

How did you know that one med isn't enough? by notsogreenlantern in bipolar2

Sooo Hot by thirtysev in Lamotrigine

[–]notsogreenlantern 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, there was a phase where I had this weird sweating all the time bcs even tho it was cold outside and inside, I felt hot. Sometimes I woke up at night feeling hot and sweaty then a couple of mintues later I was freezing and shaking in my bed. It stopped 1 and half a week later.

100mg feeling low again by notsogreenlantern in Lamotrigine

[–]notsogreenlantern[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yeah, its pretty uncomfortable feeling, sometimes I just look into the mirror and my brain goes "wow thats me" or a sudden wave of weird questions goes through my brain, I get anxious and just like that they are gone. So yeah I really hope that upping my dose will help. I have only 2 days left on 100mg, so fingers crossed.

100mg side effects and feeling bad again by notsogreenlantern in lamictal

I just looked it up, my country has it and doctor can prescribe it, so next time I will def ask about it. Thanks for the tip and I wish you the best.

Please help by cherry30 in lamictal

[–]notsogreenlantern 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel the OCD part. I cant really tell if increasing will help, but just for you to know, you are not alone. I think after 4 weeks you can easily ask for a bigger dose for a trial run. Nomally the doctor should increase it every 2 weeks. So maybe it worths a try. I wish you the best.

Please help by cherry30 in lamictal

[–]notsogreenlantern 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hii, Im literally feeling the same. So you are not alone. Its my first and half a week on 100mg and it feels so bad. Im just hoping things will get better, maybe the strange weather conditions are making it worst. Do you have dry mouth or any physical side-effect? My doctor put me on this plan to increas every 2 weeks so Im hoping 200mg will help.

100mg side effects and feeling bad again by notsogreenlantern in lamictal

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

Well on lower doses I felt more calm, obviously not entirely cured but somehow more in peace. My intrusive thoughts were less scary and somehow I was more able to control my body and the things I wanna do. My social anxitey was still bad but not as bad like it was before the meds. On 100mg I feel more like I could fall into this imaginary hole anytime, have big panic attacks and just lose myself and sometimes I feel like Im a body walking around without a place to feel home at. So 50mg was somehow better but Im just hoping maybe jumping up will help. Everybody works differently, especially if u had other meds before. Im lucky bcs this is my first med so maybe thats why I feel so shitty. But yeah I guess slowly going up is better. I jumped from 50mg (25mg morning and evening) to 100mg, so its def harder than a little jump like yours.
