I'm taking lamotrigine for depression, been taking it for more than a year. I didn't want to tell anyone at first but eventually told two of my closest friends, my sister and recently my mom and step dad. I really didn't want my dad to know, I'm not sure why. We're both the same in the sense that we are very uncomfortable talking about feelings and stuff. I told him a few weeks ago that I had been feeling really nauseous every day and he convinced me to see my dr, who told me that being nauseous is a side effect of the
Meds. Well tonight I was talking to my dad on the phone and he
Asked how I was feeling lately. I tol him I was feeling better, and that it was a side effect of meds I take for my knees (I've always had issues with my knees) and he seemed kind of weird after I said that. I almost felt like he knew I was lying. After I hung up I sat there for a minute and then got up and wentto my sisters room and asked her if she had told our dad tht I take the same medication as her (she recently started taking it too, but very open about it) and she said she had told him. Upset that not only he knows I'm depressed, but he knows I lied to him! I'm so mad, and feeling really uncomfortable about him knowing about my issues. I don't know what I'm gonna do when I see him tomorrow, I'm gonna feel so guilty for
Lying
