Started Lamotrigine
My partner takes this for their Bipolar. I have PTSD and BPD that I’m taking it for that. A lot of meds don’t work for me or cause severe reactions. They suggest it so I started it about 2 weeks ago. I know it takes a while to build up to a therapy dose. But I kinda hate this medication. I feel calmer but my lows are lower than before. I still get angry but then it dissipates after a few hours which is faster than before. I’ve noticed i get more angry more often though. Instead of maintaining it. I think it’s causing brain fog. I keep forgetting words and trailing of sentences. I don’t like the way it feels inside my brain. The first three days on it I was in a state of mania. I feel almost like I don’t belong in my skin. My partner said it’s because I have to get used to my brain regulating but I feel like I have more intrusive thoughts now than ever. It’s on replay in my head and can’t get them to stop. I’m coming on to ask everyone’s opinion and experiences with this medication.
