I'm extremely sensitive going on and coming off meds. My dosages are a fraction of what many other people take.
I'm coming off Lamotrigine and Lithium. When I reduced my Lamotrigine by 75mg I plunged into an even deeper depression than the one I was in.
Coming off the Lithium has been a little strange, though not the hell other people have described.
The other day, I felt like I was on new drugs, not going off old drugs. My body adjusting to me not having these meds left me feeling somewhat oddly drugged.
I still have 100 mg to go to get off the Lamotrigine and see my pdoc tomorrow. My ECT is in a couple of weeks so I'll probably be stopping that after my appt tomorrow.
