when i first took it, it made me bland in my moods, and for a while i hated it, but then after time i started noticing stablization, everything seemed my thoughts were less eratic, and fruzzled. I was bit more structured. Yet still now i take 400 mg, i hate tolerance, i rerember i took 400mg for a while and i noticed a big stablization feeling, with mild antidepressant effect. I was drinking alcohol, wine and it made me so depressed, so i just went into room and took my daily 400mg, which at time i hated. I noticed a rise in the mood, and nuerotransmitters, like it was forcing everything mood wise to go back to baseline. Now i take 400 a day, couple times i've taken 600mg and noticed better stablization and mild AD effects. It's tolerance. You get tolerant to a drug then body seem to adjust (maybe this is just me) and then it feels equlibrium, not as much noticable effects. But still when i take prozac in the morning, i get the prozac rise in mood, and able to not be depressed
right now 600mg seems to be a good dose, but that was the same thing that happened when it was 400mg. Tolerance. The max dose i think is 800mg and many people take lamotragine for siezures, its a anticonvulsant. I'm very much better in mood right now, but it's tolerance i hate. Anyways, it still works but not as noticeable as the first year.

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

definely going to regret writing babble and spam-like writing. I have anger issues, because of all these situations and being controlled, who wouldnt have anger issues, some people get trauma from events happening, yes i had much trauma done, it wanst in my child hood it was in my early 20s. I missed my life, through my 20s, so i plan when my 40s come....im going to do everything i planned in my 20s. My early 20s is when all that trauma happened, it was pain. But i don't be vuleranble, that pain that i needed someone to help or rescue me during that time, i needed someone, but there was no one there. So, anger resulted instead of being devesated and being a victem.
I don't have a therapist because right now, there's money situations. And i know, what therapist will ask, they will anaylze and try to sort out what happened, give compassion for a bit, and then work for imrovement. But i dont have that luxury. I do believe in god, i believe there is supernatural relm, and other entities that are unseen. God seems to be the only resource, prayer. I've been curious to ask spirits, or supernatural force but i'm scared because it could be the dark side, then i would be in worse situation. Ouija boards, magick no no, not headed there, i don't have enough intelligence and things could get more worse from that. God, the universe, supernautral beings, lucifer or (L) - those are all the things i believe that are there. Spirituality....i don't want to call it that, because that sh it is real, not some mental technique or mindstates. In the end, i hope it's a happy ending. Thank for reading

I recently started lamotrigine. So far, so good.
