How Are You Feeling Right Now?

confused, sad, defective, frustrated

after a decrease in the dosage of my mood stabilizer, I'm noticing severe irritability and impulsivity
this is after going from 200 mg lamotrigine to 150 a few weeks ago
I don't know whether to wait, and see whether I adapt to the change or whether to start taking 200 again
I was only taking 100 a couple of years ago (though I don't remember what my impulsivity/irritability was like then)
I really hate the side effects, I don't know whether the tradeoffs are worth it
I'm thinking more about ctb too

peace
:)

For myself Lefty, I'd take the side effects over feelings of depression, anxiety, suicidal ideations. They say that they subside over time.

I hope you make the right decision for yourself. Hate to see you suffering. *console

I have mixed feelings. Saw pictures of my grandchild on FB. My ex husband's wife posts. It hurts that I haven't met him yet, and I have to deal with that. And a lot of other feelings related to my daughter.

Last weekend I got her a $200 gift card and card to be delivered by my son. She received it. I'm hoping to get a response. If there's not a reconciliation. Maybe she will understand when she's my age that it's easy to forgive. I also blame her father for pretending that I don't exist.

She’ll understand when she’s older. I know it hurts now.

Not sure how to feel. I steeled myself and made my way into the office, trying to stay calm with all the back to back meetings I had. Turns out all but one have been cancelled. Which is great - a shorter day. The downside is there's a chance I might not get paid for them due to how this all works. Fingers crossed, eh. Tired of this kind of shit at the moment.

Good news is, I don't feel quite as ill as I have been doing, not as on edge. The stress is just relentless, though.
