The highest dose lamictal I was on was 300mg too so I’m not sure what a higher dose would do. Even my pdoc said I’m on a high dose. He changed it to lithium though. I was never too happy about the change tbh. I felt like lamictal was better at controlling the low spells. But my pdoc is the old school belief that lithium is the gold standard. I thought lithium blood work had to be done every 3-6 months but considering I don’t see my pdoc for another year I could be wrong. And he didn’t even give me paperwork to get blood tests done so there’s that. I could always ask my gp in December to do my blood work for my I guess.

I’ve packed my benzo for work in my bag. I’ve got a Year 9 class who weren’t great last week and I’m not sure why. They were just talking over me the whole time and wouldn’t be quiet. When I made a seating plan for them on Thursday all they did was argue about the seating plan and yell across the classroom to their mates. I’ll see how they go today and if it’s a nightmare I might get a coordinator to come in and speak to them. I see them just before recess which means I can keep some back at recess but that doesn’t touch sides. Last week I kept quite a few back at recess and they honestly didn’t care.
