i was on lithium at the hospital, but it didnt work long enough to feel the effects. It had calming feeling, not like sedatives, but more thought wise. But i rerember at the time, i was in bad moods because of a situation that was happening and lithium just seemed like a placebo effect. I rerember i was 300mg twice daily. Right when i got out, i stopped it. Thing is i take lamotragine for depression, but on my files ... they said i had bipolar symptoms, and wrote i had bipolar with some schizoeffective. I do not have any schizo disorder. For the longest time, i have depression, i have adhd and that is why im hyper sometimes in conversations, and the doctors label it bipolar symptoms. Can you imagine this, years of trying to tell doctor about ADHD, and they classify me as bipolar type 2. What a mess, i'm on 2 mood stablizers. Lithium is the unlimate mood stablizer. Lamotragine below that.
Right now i have some mental energy to write, past weeks i feel ... i mean not intrested in anything, low brain voltage or depressed neueron sector in brain. I have to use stimulation, stimulant medication gets me out, and im able to function like a normal person. I'm not depressed nueron sector in brain, it all is just ugly ugly. I may should not of wrote this, i'll probaly tommorow regret everyhting i wrote in embarasment. Had to write it out, the doctor i have doenst take me seriously, im nice, i don't react back in anger or get abusive, but .. sometimes i feel it's bottle inside me to ignite in the doctor session and get so abusive to my doctor that they would immiandly discharge me. I don't know, i have anger issues that i cover up. Ok...this is enough, bottem line, lamotragine seems to help at 600mg with mood stablization and mild AD effects. Pulls nuerotransmitters out of depress mode. Thank for reading
