#lamactil

If you guys are circling the post I made about marijuana being dangerous bc it can activate latent bipolar disorder, increase psychosis, and make other mental illnesses worse, you should know that somebody added a comment that lamictal doesn’t mix with marijuana and I’m not 100% sure that’s true. I don’t want to feel obligated to act like a hall monitor and police every comment that gets added bc I am not in control of who comments on the post and who reblogs the commented version, but when you google lamictal + marijuana it just says that it lowers blood pressure and can make you extremely drowsy. But nothing besides that. Lamictal is a very popular medication and I hardly want an incorrect version of that post circulating. That being said, if there is a source that says it is dangerous, you need to post about it bc I have seen MANY people ask for a source in the comments, which is why I’m writing a follow up post now.

I'm obsessing over my diagnosis. I've had bipolar disorder for over 3 years, and have been officially diagnosed for the last 6 months, and I was okay with the diagnosis but now I'm just obsessing. One doctor told me sometimes the symptoms can decrease and eventually I won't suffer from bipolar disorder anymore but I've since been told by several other doctors, and the Internet and books that it never ever ever goes away and I was kinda hoping on it going away. Some days are so good, and I'm not on suicide watch anymore which is great, but lately I've been getting more lows again and increased anxiety and I don't know. Does this mean I possibly need to increase my medication? I'm scared because when I started the lamotrigine and had to increase it, each time I went up I got super sick and was off work 9 weeks in total and now it still makes me tired but I can't cope with coming off it and starting something else that might have worse side effects. It doesn't do anything to help my mania either but I'm normally in control of those episodes but I feel like I'm losing more control over myself and am really unsure of my stability at the moment. Part of me would love just to get myself committed and not have to worry, not have to take care of myself fully for a while, hide away from the world and hide until I feel okay again. I don't know How can this be forever? It's fucking shit up and barely anyone I care about is interested in learning anything about my condition and that irritates me because when I lash out verbally or get frustrate or want to be left alone, nobody listens or understands what the hell is going on with me. Did anyone else have this after a while of taking lamotrigine (lamactil), and what did they/their doctor do about it?

Holy fucking shit Got given cyclizine to deal with the nausea the lamotrigine causes and the sleepy factor of both combined into this one crazy mess and I just slept for three hours with a small break in the middle (because I still have to look after my mum even with all this shit) and when I got up for that break, I could barely walk I was so tired. So I have learnt cyclizine is definitely use carefully
