Yeah, I dropped off the deep end and disappeared. It happens when you get psychotic depression. And then get put on the wrong antidepressant. And then it takes your body two months to recover from being on the wrong antidepressant. And then your doctor decides that SSRI’s are maybe not such a good idea in your case.
While I’m experimenting with drugs (the prescription kind!) I’ll be blogging at The Lamictal Diaries. Lamictal (lamotrigine) is one of those anti-convulsants that they use to treat bipolar disorder. It’s reputed to be great for the depressive phases of bipolar, if not the manic phases, which is why my doc decided to try me on it. Its incidence of side effects is supposed to be low, but the side effects it does have are pretty heavy. Like there’s this deadly rash you can get from it …
Since I’ve had so much trouble with my meds these last months, I’ve decided to keep a blog recording my mood, attention, motivation, and any side effects I may have. Hence the blog that I mentioned above. Hope to see you there.
