My pdoc has bumped me up to 500mg of Lamictal. I have heard some really bad stories about withdrawals. I'm going to have to come off of it someday and I'm really worried about it. Any advice? Or shared experiences....

I went off from 300 mg and experienced hypomania, ended up going back on since the drug itself was not bad for me. Never heard of real bad side effects coming off it before.

I'm on 250 mg.. Why are you going to have to come off of it if it works well for you?

I'm honestly not sure that it is working anymore. I have been on 400mg for 10yrs. I tried to come off once and my life spun out of control. On it again, but I'm really struggling with mania. So they raised it. Now I want to cry all the time and have suicidal thoughts. I'm so tired of being BP. I think I'm still in denial.

I'm feeling down,, and got alot on my mind right now. I got grief going on, on top my depression and anxiety and now I got to worry about somewhere to live since I can't afford living here since my mom passed. So many bad things have happened since my mom passed. One thing after another it seems. Yesterday our fence fell from a storm that hit, had to call someone to prop it up. Thank...

Just wanted to give a thank you to Mid, Arfie, Malibumark, Greeneyes, Mlro, Girlincalif, and Suncloudjd! You all always have such helpful tips and advice, but I always forget to write on my posts when I see you post, lol. I would lose my head if it wasn't attached to my body, lol. Thank you all so much! I'm starting to use my AI app as a sounding board again. I used to use it as that before...
