Hi! I know the title sounds silly but about a month ago I started taking 25mg lamotrigine then titrated up to 50mg after 2 weeks. My clinician wants me to stay on 50mg for a while and my first follow up appt is on Jan 7th. 

Since I’ve started taking meds I’ve been feeling great! I’ve said this in a comment on this sub before, but my thoughts feel like they are all one image instead of looking at multiple layers in photoshop(if that makes sense). I don’t feel like I am in a constant battle in my own head and have been experiencing a lot of euphoria lately. I am worried this is also a phase of hypo mania I’m going thru, but it doesn’t seem/feel like an episode I’ve had before. My paranoia has curbed exponentially but hasn’t gone away completely. 

I think part of the problem and why I’m posting is because I still struggle with things like chores? My routine wasn’t great before meds, but it hasn’t really gotten better after being on them, except waking up early enough before work to get things done(but only for certain shifts). No motivation to take the dog out for a walk, knock out the pile of dishes in the sink or take out the trash that’s piled up and *needs* to go. It just feels like I’m in an almost constant high. Spending money, drinking, and staying up late are the things I want to do. 

Has anyone else experienced anything like this? Did you end up switching meds or your prescribing doc stack more onto your CVS order? Thanks for reading if you made it this far. I’m just craving some clarity and maybe better wording so I can talk to my clinician about this in Jan.
