Thank you so much for your responses. I went back to the NP yesterday with my parents involved and she explained that it wasn't possible that the Lamictal made me anxious. It was awful, and I had a horrible panic attack afterwards. Sometimes I think I'm going to die from this whole thing. She even convinced my father it was in my head, but eventually I was able to show him some stuff online of people who had similar reactions.
I am starting to accept: I am bipolar, mixed state. I need medication. I am so sad about this, but I think it's my only chance at a normal life. I feel like I'm starting over at 27. I'm so sensitive to medications, so I'm afraid of taking them. But I'm also afraid of life right now. Please tell me people get through this, and they have normal lives. I'm scared I will be useless forever, and never be able to get on my own two feet.
