I’ve tried a lot of meds over the past 5 years and nothing worked until I tried Lamictal, it literally saved my life. I’ve been on it for about 4 months, however recently I’ve noticed it’s not working as well. I’m irritable, have intrusive thoughts, and lost motivation. 

Yesterday, I had a full blown meltdown with suicidal thoughts, which I haven’t thought of since I began the medication. Has this happened to anyone? A medication that works just…. Not working all of a sudden? Feels like my brain is stronger than all of these meds they give me, like a monster that takes over no matter what.

I am on the max dose for Lamictal, so there’s no going up with it. Thanks for reading this if you do
