Hello! I'm happy to see you again. You may remember through PM that I shared your struggle with taking illness and this have trouble accepting my diagnosis. That still continues. I went off medication for about a long before crashing. I am back on it - begrudgingly, I might add.

Lamictal I heard is a decent drug. It did not work for me years ago but I don't know if I ever made it to the right dose, since the titration period is so long. I remember I left the hospital and went to partial and promptly quit because they kicked me out of the regular adult program. I didn't find another pdoc after that. I bet I didn't take it anymore either. So I'm not a good judge on that.

I take trileptal and it works for me very well with no side effects.

It's all about finding a combination that works. I totally understand not wanting meds, I don't either. But they can help you in the short term to be able to finish your schooling. And you may find you feel so much better on them that you keep them.

Anyway glad to see you again and PM me whenever you want
