Colin,
I'm so sorry to hear about your brother. I can't imagine what you must be going through; I've never lost anyone close to me. Try to stay away from drugs and alcohol if you can. I have to remind myself that they never make anything better and I always do stupid s%#* that I regret later. I'm just sticking with caffeine for now and an occasional Ativan. Try to get enough sleep now that you are on Lam again; you know what lack of sleep does.AS far as the Trileptal, doesn't it decrease the Lam levels?
Any weight changes on the Trileptal? Does it help your irritability?
I did try it once, kind-of made me sick to my stomach. I've not considered it since I have been on Lamictal, but maybe it will help the cycling.
I guess I'll take Lam. for the rest of my life. It really helps my depression.. Today I got a job for the first time in three years and am scared as hell. I almost felt like I would lose my mind so I took a nap. When I got up I took my afternoon dose and as soon as it kicked in, I was back to my normal self.Have you ever felt like you could lose your mind? Like one day you don't know who or where you are? Sometimes I get little glimpses of that reality. I don't mean this lightly, like my friends will say, "Oh sure I lost my mind once".
What I'm talking about is a serious feeling that something could go chemically haywire. Being bipolar sucks, but hey, who am I to complain.Take care Colin,
Amy
