I'm sure this has happened to many of you out there...I started having a manic swing that lasted two weeks...Suddenly I crashed and crashed big time. It was horrible. I didn't leave my house or bathe for two days. I didn't answer the phone...It sucked! When my psychiatrist had me increase my Welbutrin to 300 MG and my Lamictal from 100 to 200 (I am VERY sensetive to medication. I have been a sober addict and alcoholic for 33 years with nothing in my system) I went ABSOLUTELY CRAZY! Short tempered crawling out of my skin. I was dizzy for two days, sleepy and manic as living hell! I was screaming and ripping things up. It was insane. We adjusted the Welbutrin back to 150 but stayed with 200 MG of the Lamictal. Hopefully everything will work out. Lamictal has been a Godsend but I plateaued...Mann, I get sick of being bipolar and having to take meds but I have religated myself to the fact that I must for the rest of my life.
Thank God I have people here at Daily Strength that understand.
