Hello,
I am glad you posted. Sorry that things are distressing right now! But hang around here, look through posts about Lamictal.
Do you know what diagnosis the doctor gave you?
What else have you noticed in your feelings? Is the cutting happen frequently?Lamictal seems like a strange drug. For many it is very helpful. But some need to play around a bit to get the dosage right....For some it works for a while at one dose, but then it loses the efffect and they have to increase; then works at the new dose for a bit, but again the effect wears off...but from what i hear people can eventually find the right dose.
Some people have noted here recently that they actually have an opposite reaction--reporting that Lamictal actually increased their anxiety.
Maybe try to keep a simple record of how much you are taking each day, and rate your mood each day...Record anxiety , on a scale from one to ten each day; and also depression from one to ten.
I am sorry your family is not supportive enough right now.
B.
