I'm looking for some coping tips during the withdrawal symptoms I am experiencing. I discontinued both my anti-depressant and mood stabilizer a week ago, as I was never able to get the combo in the right dosage to work for me. The weird thing is while I am gradually feeling back to my old self, I have these times where I experience the same side effects I had when i was taking the medicine. For instance, on Zoloft, I was full of energy and always had to be doing something. When I took Lamictal, I felt the opposite - like a zombie and had no desire to do anything. So, I've had flare ups here and there, and today I'm experiencing some kind of combination where I am really restless at work but at the same time, have no motivation or pleasure from doing my job or even normal things that I enjoy. I just want to go home and be alone and work on some project around the house. I also feel angry and irritable toward people in general, which isn't good since I work around people at my job.

Lastly, I feel really impulsive right now and don't feel like I'm able to make good decisions, which is concerning since I went on an interview a few weeks ago and could have a pending job offer. I'm worried since I'm not feeling like myself that I'll make a wrong decision (whether or not to leave my current position). In general, I'm just in a big fog and feel like I'm in some other world. Can someone give me hope that these will subside soon? I thought it was getting better until I had this flare up today.

Thanks,

Andrew
