Mental Health Center

So I went to the er Friday morning and instead of sending me inpatient they sent me to a mental health center, I was there Fri through Sunday, I'm home now and need to prepare to return to work and life, I had planned to go today but I'm home, guess I feel like I need another day to process. Not really venting, just writing this out to help process I guess. The center had a very small group but being the weekend there were less group activities but being there got me through my SI and I really needed that. I've been all over the place this last month mood wise, depressed then ok for a couple days then depressed again. They added Lamictal to my cocktail while there, hopefully this will help with the depression. Tomorrow I will face the world again for sure, wish me luck on staying on track

Lamictal has really helped ease my depressions. I don't think it's reduced the severity per se, and I don't think it's stopped my rapid cycling, but it's definitely lessened the duration of my depressive episodes, which is awesome. Now my depressions are a week long or shorter!

I will probably have to find another drug to help lessen the severity... but Lamictal has worked out pretty well for me. Hope it works well for you too.

Thanks bluebicycle, they took me off Paxil and added the Lamictal will see how it goes

I had Lamictal added to my cocktail in November. It was the bumpiest ride I have ever been on with a med. But I finally feel so much better now!! I wish you the same! Well, not the bumpy part, more like smooth sailing.

Best wishes, and good luck! Sounds like you are doing better.

Thanks you guys!!
