Ode to Lamictal Mood
Thursday, April 2, 2009 | A Poem/Artistic story

I rely on you to make me whole,

To fix this illness beyond my control,                                                             
And yet you cause me so much pain.
Is there really that much more to gain?

My stomach in spasms, my vision blurred.
The doctor says, “Take more!”  Why, that’s absurd!
I wonder what it is you do to my brain,
For this illness is one they can’t explain.

Try as I might to understand why
This illness can make me want to die.
I’m left with more questions than answers it seems.
Finding a cure for bipolar is only in dreams.

Will you fix me and make me happy again?
Can I have my life back, and if so, when?
For if you can’t help me, perhaps nothing will.
I’m looking for a miracle in one little pill.

    Ah sweets, I just saw your status, and I really feel for you. I am sorry you are having to go off the lamictal (is that right- or are they just keeping you at the 100)? It's terrible enough to be a newly diagnosed person with BP, but to top that off with a challenge on getting the right med, is really frustrating. I am always here for you if you want to vent- I know the feeling of not being able to find the right med for you! But, I will tell you, there are a lot of other options besides Lamictal (like we've talked about)- so don't give up yet! There is bound to be something that will work for you!

    Ladybug, Please don't give up. I know right where you are at, Been there my whole life. I know this is a new adjustment for you. When I'm in this place I close my eyes and crawl up into the Lords lap cause He's really the only one who knows how I'm feeling. I'm usually looking for unconditional love also and people just can't give that to you. Your in my prayers sweetie, connie

    I take it too. I understand. But it's something I have to accept and for me to remember how I am without it. Love to you, Mary
