Hi there, it’s been a bit rough again after a long time of feeling stable. I’m TTC with my husband and after I had surgery we are doing IVF in a few weeks. Dr is trying to taper me down off Lamictal. I’m at 75mg fr 100mg. I was at 200mg but when I started trying for baby, they reduced me. They want to do gradual. So, lately I’ve had old symptoms creep back. I take it at night, (Lexapro still 10mg in am).. but before my night dose I get way wacko. Stressed out, manic racing thoughts, immediately project to my husband convinced he doesn’t love me anymore... etc... ugh it’s not good. I see it happening lately. Another thing to note is I’m trying to shed a few #s, I started a low carb diet - not way low just under 100g carbs, and increase my work outs. I don’t know if this is adding to the problem??? 😓🤦🏼*♀️🤷🏼*♀️🤷🏼*♀️🤷🏼*♀️🤷🏼*♀️
