My Side Effect Posts

Lamictal To all my special friends with bipolar, I have started lamictal 2 months ago and everything written is true and i am experiencing right now, even in this writing, while only on 50 mg`s, i don`t remember simple words, compare this to my hypomania episodes where i was an amazing expressive individual to the dumbest of them all. Lamictal gave me peace and stupidity, it is my choice. I will go with peace of emotions because i suffered so much for many years, mostly undiagnosed and on all kinds of SSRI. I came to understand that lamictal is a brain suppressant, bipolar in my opinion is like seizures, or abnormal activity in the limbic system which carries you high up to the highest mountains at times, and then drops you into the deepest, and darkest places. To prevent all that from happening, you suppress the ups, and guess what, you lose your intelligence . I was one of the brightest students in school and early college, managed to get a good degree and then completely crippled by the disease ( sounds classic). Now i don`t care too much of being stupid as long as I regained my focus and peace of mind, actually i became more productive. Everything comes with a price, at times its hard to decide whether what ur buying is worth it. For me, at this point, it is. May be i will change my mind when i go higher doses ??? i don`t know. Thanks to you all
