I'm on 100mg of lamotrigine twice daily for probable epilepsy. I've been on it since late February. Lately I've been feeling very impulsive and I keep spending money. I feel a lot of buyers remorse yet I keep doing it. The other day I was feeling kind of down and the next day I got a tattoo and now I feel better. It was an impulsive thing. So much so that I even paid for my friend to get one with me just because I wanted it that badly. I highly regret buying hers because she isn't reliable and will likely never pay me back. When I think about it I feel sick. Before the tattoo I was having a lot of anxiety, like near panic attacks. It's almost like doing something or spending money curbs my emotions? I've never been one to willingly spend money all the time. In fact I'd panic and return items because of buyers remorse. Before I ever starting taking this medication I was usually always feeling numb, down, or very apathetic. So in a way it has helped me emotionally (which is kind of irritating because it's not my norm). Is the medication causing the spending? I just bought art supplies today. I do that every time I have these mania moments and have even before the medication. I barely use anything I buy.
