started lamictal 2 weeks ago. tried 25mg but made me feel like i was on bad acid trip so tried 12.5..same..tried 6.25 and was finally able to tolerate. stayed at this dose for 6 days then bumped to 12.5..tolerated that and have now moved to 25 (taking 12.5mg twice day).
trouble is ive become more depressed than i ever have been..to the point where i cant get out of bed at times..cant think clearly..feel sooo hopeless and 'what's the point of it all' am almost daily filled entirely with despair and hopelessness. suicidal bouts almost daily. this cant be normal. what should i do? should i keep on lamictal?
can someone please tell me what the point of it all is? what's the use? seems medicine has nothing to offer for these illness. im afraid i cant maintain my job - then what? i cant function in society. i have no friends. i cant take it anymore! why go on?
sorry for blabbing..it's been a tough couple weeks. thanks all
