For some reason feeling more depressed after talking to my pdoc. He took me pretty seriously, and agreed we can lower the dose of Lamotrigine if I want, but he really doesn't think it could be from this, and I am worried I will become more unstable either way I go with this med. It also leaves me more confused as I was hoping he would recognize my reaction as something he had seen, but he seemed perplexed. I couldn't decide if I should increase or decrease so hope I made the right choice. I hate gambling with my mental health and feel hopeless. I will go off it after 7 days at 50 mg then be off it for 10 days before seeing him again so we have more of a baseline then. It is hard to experience this and then tell your pdoc and just sum it up into a 2 minute conversation like it's no big deal when it has been consuming your life. I guess I have been telling him for long enough about these thoughts that he is not overly concerned, but for me they are a struggle every day.
