When these are at good levels, I rarely cry. The one exception is PMS - I get a day or two of hypersensitivity where practically everything makes me cry - but that happens regardless of meds. Otherwise without the meds being right I'm a waterworks, which is really distressing, because I wouldn't even really feel all that sad, but just couldn't stop crying on and off all day.

Wellbutrin made me irritable but I loved it because it was basically speed for me. Then I developed a painful reaction and had to quit. I was pretty sad lol.
I tried Risperidal once and I was so groggy the next day and the possibility of weight gain was a no for me.
I've been on several ADs and they either haven't worked, made me nauseous to the point of dry heaves or activated me to the point of going days without sleep.
I also am on the generic of Lamictal, but can't remember how to spell it or pronounce it. If I choose to go with Brand instead of generic I have to pay $55 co pay instead of the $10 I pay now. And with my sons OT & play therapy and my T & Pdoc I just can't afford it. I'm pretty tapped out.
My thing is I do not want to go on any more medication
