i have again, been on-again off-again with my lamotrigine. too out of it, too mentally paralysed to make the decision to take it.
i did restart that one time. it gave me the initial blast of whatever it is. made me better than i was before i resterted, but it was disorganized, no productivity.
now being off for a bit. finally, i think i notice being off may be causing me to feel heavier (different from my stiffness), and i am indeed even less likely to do things. i fade out into indecision and ambivalence even more right now.
it (being off) is also what is making me take more lorazepam to dislodge myself.
i took lots of coffee and 2mg lorazepam and that is how i am writing this.
i would like to know more about lamotrigine.
is there any reasons to believe that it has more than just acute energizing effects? what is it's real chemistry, is it really anti-glutamate in a good way, is it really neuroprotective?
and whoa, melanin binding, i don't understand the first thing about that? is there reliable literature on that?
i guess the big question is WHETHER I SHOULD RESTART AGAIN. could the reason that i only get meaningful acute effects be because i need to go higher that 200mg? is there any real benefit to going over 200mg, or is that when the risk of cognitive impairment or other crumby side effects starts to become an issue?
