MDJunction to me

scotty04901"MDJ to me is an added phase in my recovery as a 44 year survivor of a TBI. I hope that with what I have lived through in those years, will be able to help all those who are just now going through. It is important to understand that even after 44 yrs, I am continuing to recover and to evolve. I just hope I can help others." (scotty04901)

I don't know why, but I am starting to feel high again on my meds. It's as if I took klonopin, but its been days since I have. The only thing I have been doing different is that I started drinking diet pepsi again. I have not had soft drinks in about 1 1/2 years because the medications gave the soft drinks and alcohol a metalic taste, but one day I started to crave it bad. Not sure if anyone has this effect. I also missed a dose of Lamictal last night and woke up at 1 am dizzy seeing everything in waves, as if I were going to seize. Not sure what is going on Dizzy
For Bipolar Type II - Lamictal 100 MG A.M. and 200 MG HS, Topamax 100 MG HS
For Anxiety - Klonopin 0.5 MG PRN

Not sure that missing one dose of Lamictal would do anything. I've missed doses and not had any immediate effects, but caffeine can definitely do a number on you if you haven't had any for a long time. If this continues, I would call your pdoc, but hopefully, this is something that has cleared up by now. Let us know.
