Hi, I haven't been here for ages. I am depressed right now and feeling so alone. I am on so much medication to treat my illness, but I still get depressed. It frustrates me so much. I was convinced that my pdoc didn't want to work with me anymore, but he emailed me back and said that he does. He's really a very nice dr. I see my pdoc and GP next week because this depression came on so suddenly. Anybody taking lamictal and it caused mood instability? Anybody out there? I feel so alone. I have no friends IRL because of my illness and social anxiety.

Hi, Simone! I don't take lamictal, but I get depressed. I hope you will find relief soon. Maybe there are helpful remedies that don't involve drugs? When I have been better I had an exercise routine every day
& I followed the cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) principles. But, as you know, sometimes we feel too overwhelmed & our motivation slips a lot. I'm glad you're here. Please keep posting! Hugs & love to you! __________________ "Every moment is a fresh beginning." (T. S. Eliot) "Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines."(Robert H. Schiuller) * * * * * * |

I hear and heart you too Kit. I'm on lithium and effexor and latuda among others and I still get unwell. This time I think a med caused it. A med I am stopping tonight, thank the goddess. Hope you're having a lovely day or eve, depending on where you are.

I understand where you're coming from. It sucks. I'm on three antipsychotics, a mood stabilizer,and a few others and I'm not stable. I hope the increase in latuda has helped you along with stopping the other med. Update us when you can
