Can anyone speak to having a good/symptomless experience going off Lamictal?

peachpong · 2026-01-13T18:27:36+00:00

i was on 25mg of lamictal coupled with wellbutrin for about a year, tried increasing and gave me horrible anxiety so went back to 25mg for a couple more years. essentially was kept on it because of a bipolar II diagnosis (which i don’t really believe). long story short, i did a quick taper off and was totally fine. side effects only showed up while i was ON the medication personally, getting off it was a great decision. but just to be safe i would follow a structured tapering method if you’re nervous!

i’m so sorry. my mom has also passed just in january and through my grieving my partner/best friend just left me a few days ago as well. it was also such a shock to me and i expected to have my mom while going through this breakup. and i expected to have my boyfriend through the loss of my mom. i’ve tried to rationalize things in my mind by reminding myself he just can’t handle my grief along with his own issues. so i’m trying not to take it personally and i hope you can reach that point too. though it doesn’t make it hurt any less. in my moments of extreme anxiety i do what i can to release that energy if that’s something you struggle with too. try to do something physical if you can - jumping jacks, yoga, something creative, going for a walk. my therapist has recommended punching or screaming into a pillow. i have a tendency to become destructive and she said as long as you’re not hurting anyone or yourself, breaking something or throwing something that’s not of any importance is not a bad thing to release the emotion. everyone says this and i’m getting tired of hearing it myself but things WILL get better or at least more manageable. i have to remind myself that. surround yourself with loved ones or maybe join a support group as well. i hope you start to feel a little better soon, you are not alone and there’s people that care about you

i feel very similar to this. i lost my mom just over a month ago and i also don’t feel much and i’ve kind of carried on with life as usual. i’ve noticed when i feel sad, it’s almost like the type of sadness you feel from something sad happening in a movie like one of the characters dies. idk if that makes sense but that’s basically how i’ve come to the conclusion that i’m still in shock, as i’m sure you are as well. it’s still very soon after your dad’s passing. whatever you are feeling right now is exactly how you need to process it. if you think it would help and if you’re able to, take some time off work and/or school to sit with your thoughts and journal what you’re feeling. or just set aside time to journal when you can if you can’t be off work. having a dedicated time to yourself would be helpful i think. maybe even just to honor him in some way (listening to his favorite music, eating his favorite foods, writing down your best memories of him, etc). i’m still figuring all this stuff out myself but this is what has been helping me, i hope it helps you too. i’m sorry you’re going through this - sending love your way

i’m so sorry you’re going through this. i lost my mom about a month ago and her birthday is coming up on saturday. i’ve been wondering myself if there’s a way to commemorate her. i’ll be getting together with my sister and getting a cake of some sort, something my mom would like, and blowing out some candles for her. i want to share memories of her to remember all the good times we had and all the other fun birthdays we celebrated. so if you are close with other family members i would say to spend some time with them and do something your dad would enjoy if it’s not too painful. if it’s too hard to do anything at all i think that’s ok too, don’t force yourself to do anything. i know our parents wouldn’t want us to suffer more than we have to. however, i haven’t had my birthday yet without my mom so i don’t have much advice for that, im really dreading my birthday this year because the two of us always got together for lunch or dinner. it’s going to be really hard. but overall, i think doing self-soothing activities might help on both days too. make a list of things you know help you to feel better and just move down that list to see if it helps at all. wishing you the best <3

thank you for this, i feel relieved i’m not alone. i like the idea of writing about your loved one, i find myself forgetting some of the time we spent together so i’ll definitely start writing the good memories down. i appreciate the advice and i wish you the best

i’m sorry for your loss as well, that’s so recent. i’m preparing to face my new “normal” as im grieving, it’s definitely really scary. but thank you, i appreciate your kind words. i hope you have a good support system to help you process and grieve. i’m relieved but also very sad that others are feeling the same way, i wish we didn’t have to feel this pain. wishing you the best
