HI there again,
Davey is right about learning to take care of your self.
This is very important especially with your history of DV and abuse.
Hopefully you have a therapist to help you deal with all of these stressors in your life and can help you to learn good coping skills.
My dose of lamictal is 200mg and this works well for me...
the xanax will not help your depression in my opinion...
sorry if that sounds bad...are you having panic attacks?
I kow that when I am coming down off mania then I get really anxious. It gets better and I have learned how to just tell myslef that these anxious feelings will go away with time...
for me they have.
How was your weekend?
((((HUGS))))
