>Almost anyone can suffer a temporary rebound depression when coming off Lamictal. The rebound depression is sometimes worse than the original.
Scott,
It is true that I have been suffering a temporary rebound depression since coming off Lamictal.
My fear is not suicide, because that is something I would never do, as bad as it gets. And I have had it bad, believe you me.Suicide will not end the suffering, it only will make it worse. Self-pity is complete self-absorption. It's all just an illusion.
Life is so hard, no one holds it together all the time. Every person on this planet has wanted to die, everyone has cried till they cough and choke.
Psychiatry is making money off depressed people don't forget.
I will not be dependent on any chemicals soon. First the meds, then pot, then alcohol, then cigarretes.
I do not believe that Bipolar gets worse with age,
as my pdoc says.I will exersize and eat right and have faith.
Thanks for letting me rant.
Amy
