Hello just an update and wanted to keep it on this thread so it all made sense.
Went to Pdoc after apx 3 weeks on Lamictal. Doing good- actually very well however I had a really bad morning. I am wondering what is the deal!!
Backing up: I found out my official diagnosis (for now, per Eval) is BP 2 and PTSD ! Which was interesting... the latter diag is due to allot of hidden trauma that i buried deep down a long time ago, plus all of the stuff I dealt with during my tumultuous marriage (now divorced- phew).
So, Pdoc increased my dose, started now w/ 50mg and took first dose last night. I dont know if it was related to the tapering up of meds, but i couldn't sleep for crap, i had a terrible night, woke up and completely had a melt down. I am trying to be gentle on myself i am utterly exhausted. Thankfully I can work at home, typically as needed. I am wondering what triggered me after I was so good for a few weeks. Just yesterday, my BF remarked how proud is of me, how we hadn't have any major issues lately... I was jinxed! (we were... b/c I put him through another one of my crazy devil dramas).

I also know I had caffeine before my appt yesterday which was later then normal (coffee around 5pm) so it could account for lack of sleep, plus a major storm came through, and so BF was up too... it was bad combo, then i chugged a bunch of coffee this morning, w/ my Prozac. However, i cant help but wonder if tapering up of my meds is the major player here and that it might be a temporary setback..

Any insights are greatly appreciated! Trying to just wind back to normal today after this came out of the clear blue. :|
