One of my current medicines

It works...Too much to explain. I have increased recently.
Working / Worked
I have been on Lamictal for about 10 years and found much success with it. I have lately been having more manic episodes that could be caused by the meds or simply life transitions. The jury's still out.
Working / Worked
It seems to help with eposides of anger and most manic moments are decreased. It may be increasing my symptoms of my Fibromyalgia.
Working / Worked
Just getting started. Anxiety from the Effexor seems to be lessening. No notable side affects yet.
Working / Worked
It took a long while for Lamictal to work. With building up slowly, it took a lot of patience. I never has had much side effects from it physically. Emotionally, when I up it, I get irritable for about 2 weeks until my body adjusts. My dr. said I can up it when I feel very stressed out and then lower it when I feel I can handle more. Now, that I have upped it due to a stressful situation, I have suicidal thoughts and feel hopeless, restless and depressed even more.
