Hi guys

I have my pdoc appointment day after tomorrow, I am just thinking what to say to her when she'll ask me: DO you feel better?

Who knows. At one point, yes, I think I swing even less than before.
At other point, no. I got even more flat, my period got a bit messed up, I still swing, maybe not as much, but still. I feel nothing and my motivation is at zero.

On 100mg (Lamictal) even though they were short, I had moments of "just being me". The longest lasted almost whole afternoon and evening (!!), and that was the on the last day I took 100mg.

When going on 125mg, those short (and longer) moment "of feeling me", are gone. And that's surely not good?

To put in on a scale, what's better? To be flat and swing less, or to swing a bit more but from time to time, feel yourself in the right way?

Maybe my dose is too big and 100mg made the state of my mind better?

Hugs guys** have a good day

Oh the joy of new medication. Im on Lamictal and love it. But this is after my roller coaster of drugs over the last two year. How long have you been on them? It takes a good 6 weeks to have the full effect. Have you looked up the side effects? What time of day do you take them?

I have to take Multivitamins every day. Helps keep me awake from meds or everyday life.
