Bipolar Disorder Support Group
Bipolar disorder is not just a single disorder, but a category of mood disorders marked by periods of abnormally high energy and euphoria, often accompanied by bouts of clinical depression. This is the place to talk about your experience with bipolar disorder, learn from others' experiences, and find support.
Pdoc appt I had the other day went real well. Happy she didn't recommend another AP because I get the nasty side effects from them, the more rare ones anyway. She did write a script for Lamictal and I just took the first one today......against my wishes actually. Don't want to take another pill but my agitation is getting the best of me and interfering with too much of my thought process atm.
I've not taken the generic Lamictal before only brand name(was on it years ago for about 2 years until it just pooped out on me, you all know how that goes) anyway, I'm feeling quite irritable and agitated today and quite mean too actually....feel like hurting people, not good. The hurting others is on the newer side for me....I have always had quite a temper but man does it show up more often than not lately. That is why the pdoc recommended the mood stabiler, Lamictal. I've heard alot of negatives about the generic though, but oh well it's what I got!
About this agitation and hurting others.....not even an extra klonopin stops me....pretty bad and I don't like it one bit. I remember feeling this way as a teen ALOT and now it's all coming up again on me. sigh Feeling REAL pissed and wanting to tear shit up and apart....bigger sigh. Hopefully the lamictal will help though I am not getting my hopes up here, I know better than to do that. Next is going to be a freaking visit to the MD for blood pressure pills, I know getting this pissed isn't helping my health at all. What to do, what to do....sigh

Once again I've had a fever today. I'm not going to the hospital because that's a huge waste of time but I did schedule a dr appointment for Wednesday afternoon.
I know different meds effect people differently...
I'm sorry your agitated : (
Hopefully, its only for today (fingers crossed)
I think once you get up tho a theraputic dose, it gets better
((((((hugs)))))
do you have any creative outlets for your anger? maybe some strenuous activity, or artistic endeavor to take the mind from the negative (or at best, distract the troubled mind)
maybe go for a swim at a pool, or a nice brisk walk out in nature?
when i'm in that place, i like to hurl paint like jackson pollock and crank some heavy music or crank my guitar and wail.
I was pretty wound up when I first started Lamictal as well but it settled down pretty quickly..
I'm with Mojo on this can you find a good release for the pent up emotions?.. Even punching a pillow a few times might help..
I hope things settle down for you soon sweetie..xo
Eh, maybe I will go start the spaghetti sauce for dinner that will give me something to do for a moment. Just one of THOSE days....
(((BIG HUG))) agiaitation sucks!!! I get it rarely, but I hate my skin! The temper thing, not so much - BUT I have an opinion, anyway : )
Tat's - you might hate the way you feel, but it will pass - your not a teenager that doesn't know, striking out... you are aware this sucks, and gritting your teeth till its gone. If if you blow once, or twice - its not ongoing, no irresponsible Ranting.... be nice to yourself, and everyone does have fair warning!!!!!
Glad to see you willing try different things to stop it - for me, meds have the most stabilizing effect - just the problem of which one, and how much! That can also suck - as you KNOW!
Praying for you and yours..... you are much better, while you in this bad place : )
We're here for you! LMAO I'm almost dormant, no sex or arguing, message me a challenge - I'll banter, disagree and handle anything you can dish out!!!!
Going to go for a walk afterwards, so it's not all bad.
Well no Lamictal euphoria for me....but then again I am just starting out and only taking 25mg.....hell with all the meds I take that's nothing!
I hope this agitation gets gone soon......I am feeling pissed off at the world right now....and wish I could just run away, far, far away...sigh
