I have noticed I'm a lot more manic lately which I thought was all in my head. I kind of like the mania/mood swings because I'm finally able to stand up for myself however I'm also screaming and yelling a lot more (as means to get my point across) so people stop ****ing with me.


I definitely need an anti-anxiety medication added with Lamictal for sure. I go back on the 7th and will definitely be asking for something to help calm me down.


Other than that I'm set to go up to 200mg per day. I'm not sure I'll make it if the headaches continue. We'll see.
I'm on:
300mg lamictal
60mg buspar
30mg vyvanse

I'm still manic since none of them helps with that. My depression is under control a lot more and I'm able to deal with my anxiety too. Vyvanse helps a lot with my binge eating.
