Wow. So I started lamictal and am up to 75 mg and I’m on lithium 600 mg.

The lamictal is acting more like an antidepressant which is expected but the unexpected is before I started it , the affect lithium’s been having. It almost completely has gotten rid of my anxiety and panic attacks and agoraphobia. I’m going to ask if I should raise the dose a little more because my blood levels are just under the effective range. I think that will totally take care of it. I still have bad fatigue but I can’t explsin this feeling it’s like I can cope and handle things. I can get through my day with out dreading getting through my day. It’s not hard.

I dont know which drug helped or if it was just from not feeling g depressed anymore but my sex drive is back. My husband loves that part. I’m still tired and fatigued but it’s not an exhaustion where I need to lay down. I’m actually thinking about trying swimming with my daughter.

There’s no magic pill I know that and I’m worried about my thyroid because it’s 2.6 now and was 2 a month ago and 1.7 last year before starting meds. But I think I’d almost rather have thyroid meds than go off lithium I feel like it’s saving my life.

Still have some tremors from when I tried Wellbutrin. Not as bad though. Hoping they go away and aren’t permanent.

Ok thanks for listening
