So hopefully things start to calm down. I'm not sure what my pdoc will do. I told him I didn't want to go back on the meds. Mainly the Prestiq. Ideally I'd like to start Wellbutrin right now but I'm guessing hes gonna throw a fit at that suggestion. I've heard about tapering off prestiq onto Prozac and then off that. Idk. I think hes too dense to have heard of that one.

My pdoc was pretty much just like "I know it sucks but you have to just deal with it until we meet on the 12th."

I've had this bad headache all day and it feels like iceles in my brain. My sinuses aren't great either so idk. The kids got off school again today. It would have helped me out a lot as a kid to have half the winter off.

I think its my head thats bothering me the most now tbh
Why does your pdoc want you off Lamictal? You can be on Lamictal and wellbutrin. I was on Lamictal and wellbutrin for a little bit (until I couldn't handle the anxiety anymore and pretty much begged to go back on Cymbalta!).

Going off Lamictal is a *****. That's why I don't understand these pdocs who just say you can quit it cold turkey. They're nuts!
