Hi all, it’s crazy, I just woke up drenched in sweat. I am at the beginning of my lamictal treatment, and I up my dose every two weeks, I am now on 25-0-25mg. Since I started this medication I notice that I am sweating a lot at night/when I sleep.

Tonight idk what’s going on but it’s CRAZY, it’s 2am and i am covered in sweat head to toes. Idk if it’s because on top of lamictal I am on my period or because I took it just before falling asleep tonight but wow.

I read that lamictal can cause night sweat but I wonder why? Like what’s the mechanism? Does anyone know?

I have emetophobia, as well as other type of OCD. All of which stem from a fear of loosing control. I thought that if I start doing scary things that I thought I wouldn’t be able to do, it would teach me that I can do hard things and give me more courage to do exposure therapy.

Any ideas? I don’t think I can cliff jump in my area ahah but any ideas are welcomed

I just had this thought. Vomiting is the only thing I am scared of. I am not scared of pain. I am not scared of heights. My anxiety is ONLY centered around vomiting. I am claustrophobic bc I am afraid of vomiting. I am agoraphobic bc I am afraid of vomiting. If tomorrow I would wake up with a brain injury that would make it impossible for me to feel fear. I would hope on a plane to go see my family and my childhood cat who is growing older and older… I would finally tell my boyfriend that we can experience the world together because I know he is craving it so bad. I would just do all the things I haven’t done since I was 8.

It’s a pretty well known and well loved place in my city, my best friend went there a couple of times. It’s my first time here. I had an amazing drink and ordered a carrot cake. When it came, it came with some cream and blueberries and I noticed one blueberry was moldy. My boyfriend went to the waitress to change it and I asked him to ask for just the cake without the cream and blueberries. The waitress was super embarrassed and choked and she apologise to him and then to me, and she was very nice.

I still ate the new carrot cake she brought me. I am still very scared lol but hey… I know that blueberries can get moldy in a blink of an eye and it’s not really their fault/doesn’t say much about the hygiene or the establishment but still I am scared and still I will be brave I think…
