I have a history of TMJ but it's not usually a problem on the day to day basis.
I started lamotrogine a few days ago and my jaw and upper back hurt so much for 4-8 hours after I take my pill.
Has anyone experienced this? And can I expect it to go away?
I am in my 30s, never diagnosed with anything other than PMDD ...but after trying prozac and having horrible reactions to it last Oct- I seem to be a completely different person now...way more mood swings too.
I'm just wondering what it's like to have bipolar 2 ..what does it feel like, whats going on in your minds ....I would like to compare to my mind and see if this is something I have.
Due to my mood swings and impulsivity during luteal, I have been incredibly unstable in every possible situation - work, friends, family, health, everything...and after trying prozac last Oct and having a horrible experience mentally and emotionally, I have managed to ruin any shred of connection + happiness I once had..
I have nothing left, besides my poor husband who I have dragged thru the dirt along side me.
I can't take it anymore. I can't handle the constant confusion and pain in my brain. I can't handle the ups and the downs and the rage and the anger. I want it to end so incredibly bad. People keep telling me to try different meds but I am so utterly afraid of losing my mind again even more. I basically lost the last 6 months.
I have imagined myself dead in every possible fashion. And how pathetic because that's the easy way out. Why can't I just be strong and capable and centered.. why. I have stumbled too far off the path....I don't know the way back anymore.
Side note...I think it's fucking comical that after all these years of me telling doctor after doctor that I have PMDD - I have still never been validated or properly diagnosed. If only we had a competent health care system.
I've been going through a lot of stress lately, just one thing after another and I'm faced with having to make a lot of big life changing decisions soon. I have a hard time ON A GOOD DAY making BASIC choices... Does anyone have resources, tips or advice on how to make decisions when feeling attacked by PMDD??
I am so afraid I have traumatized him. Sometimes I get so emotional and angry and irrational, I go blank and scream things that I don't actually mean... I have apologized countless times and he knows I have pmdd and have been especially struggling lately. I don't know what to do anymore...I feel out of control sometimes. I feel like my life is over and he will hate me in the future. I wish I could start my period and stay on it forever if it would keep me from being this way.
Has this happened to anyone else? This is a first for me. I think it could have to do with other things going on in life.. But I felt like I had no control in my brain, no reasoning, no logic... Just reacting. . It low key scared me later on when I was more aware
