Hi guys,
I had recently been on Citalopram / Celexa and tapered off because I did not feel like it was helping me at all. I chose to wait about a month-and-a-half for it to get out of my system, and honestly thought that I could maybe go without medication. Well after a really tough and challenging time, I caved and decided to try a new medication called Lamotrigin/Lamictal. I was hesitant to go back on something, but I am so glad that I did! Just within a week of taking it, I can feel my moods have stabilized dramatically. I was actually able to handle an episode on my own, without calling someone over for help and support. I just needed to get the stigma out of my head that medication means that you failed, because it is honestly helping me to heal and I feel a sense of hope again.
