I think for the moment I will not take another mood stabalizer. I have my Uni exams in the next month, so I don't want to mess with things more than they are already. But after the exams I think its a possibility. It just seems that anything I go on activates me. This is not as bad as SRRIs where I don't really know what was going on.
So it seems I am not alone with the anger on lamictal, and the anxiety.
I am taking remeron which I am hoping to decrease soon as I know it makes me more angry than I usually am. Inside im burning with anger, When I decreased that about 6 months ago the anger subsided but my mood went down so I had to go back on it remeron.
From today I am going to take 250mg oflamictal, hopefully it makes a difference. The thing is after each increase I would initally feel really good, then after 3-4 days I get angry for a week, but the anger would then subside to a certain extent. I would then get sort of depressed and anxious and my mind would start racing. With all the other doses doses I would then gradualy feel better and feel quite well, apart from lingering anger which I think is because of the remeron. But at 300mg the anger, anxiety depression has persissted, I was hoping these feelings would turn around in a similar way to the doses before but it hasn't happened as of yet after well over a month. It would usually take a maximum of 3 weeks to start feeling quite good on a particular dose.
Any way thanks for the replies
