Hello, I'm assuming you're the 17 y.o. From what I know about lamictal is that it is used a fair bit for children with epilepsy. That's the reason for the revolting blackcurrant, instant melting thing that happens when you take it. It's meant to be child friendly or something. Cipramil or lexapro (pretty much the same action, just different isomers.) are often prescribed for anxiety, and to help lift depression if your mood stays low despite the other meds, however, they can trigger a mixed state, so if you're prescribed these you need to monitor moods well. Seroquel is good, but it takes a while for your body to get used to it. I refused it for a long time because a quarter of a 25mg tablet used to render me a zombie the next day. My doctor insisted I keep going with it and now with 450mg pm I'm functional the next day. 600mg I'm a bit groggy in the morning. 750mg pm, I'm a zombie in the morning, but I need that level to not go off the deep end. 900mg, forget the next day, but you've probably already forgotten it because that amount is for crisis point, which also points out that you should have managed things a bit differently about 6 hours earlier! I hope my rambling has helped you in some way, just don't expect any quick fix, but rejoice! You will be able to learn to manage your symptoms from a young age and enjoy a much more stable life! Wishing you all the very best on the medication roller coaster. N. I am not sick, I am enhanced.
People say these things take time. I say a nanosecond should be long enough.
Lamotragine 150mg bd; Dex 10mg 3x daily; Seroquel XR 300mg; Seroquel 25mg-50mg prn; Lexapro 2.5mg
I don't burn the candle at both ends,
I break it in half so I can burn all four.
Sorry, my magic wand is broken. You'll have to see a doctor instead. |
