Just thought I would post an update. I am on day 23 of Lamictal (50mg) and I think it might be working. I have been having alot of trouble sleeping due to mind racing and thoughts looping. Pdoc put me on Lunesta and told me to take every night for a month. I have alot of anxiety related to not being able to sleep and that combined with the actual tiredness make everything alot worse.
Therapy is chugging along. I feel calmer, steadier if that makes sense. Maybe I am just heading into another up swing? I hope not but it would be a welcome change to the depression. Things do not seem as hopeless as they did even a week ago. I think things might just work out
