> Hi Jade,

> I'm a little late here. I'm wondering what symptoms you want to treat. I apologize if you've gone over this already.I took these off the net (yes I'm that lazy) but they accurately describe my symptoms:
Feelings of helplessness and hopelessness. A bleak outlooknothing will ever get better and theres nothing I can do to improve my situation (most of the time, not always).Loss of interest in daily activities. No interest in former hobbies, pastimes, social activities, or sex. Ive lost my ability to feel joy and pleasure.
Loss of energy. Feeling fatigued, sluggish, and physically drained. My whole body feels heavy, and even small tasks are exhausting or take longer to complete.
Self-loathing. Strong feelings of worthlessness or guilt. I harshly criticize myself for perceived faults and mistakes.
Concentration problems. Trouble focusing, making decisions, or remembering things.
I also suffer from anxiety that gets bad at times. Almost panic. I'm developing a fear of leaving my house, don't like to be around others, and sometimes I feel sketchy when driving.>
> First med that comes to mind is lamotigine (lamictal). Helps soooo much with rapid cycling.
This med keeps popping up for me. I'm going to mention it to my pdoc later today.
>I'm almost normal :PWhat a wonderful state. Normal. I'd even settle for almost :)
