Arg - pdoc phoned and said I need to spend about 2 months at a dose of 100mg of Lamictin to know if it works. And I should probably track my moods to know if it's getting better or not... so, about another month to go, and then I phone her back.

But the good part was that I actually felt very comfortable talking to her (I hide behind email and sms'd, because it's easier for me. But she seemed to understand (I'm slightly hypomanic, and had contacted her when I was down; so it was hard for me not to be embarassed - does that make sense?). She understood how I could be totally depressed and a week later bouncing off the walls. Told me not to be embarrased; these are my moods and I'm not in control of them - not totally either.
She said I need to sit tight, and I need to ride out this month to be fair on the meds. We cannot just keep adding new meds all the time, else we'll never know what's working or not. So it felt great to be given a motivational type of speech.
I guess it's up to my PC peeps to assist me in this next month if things get rocky, because I will not be getting any new meds for now...!
