Hello everyone, first time posting here. Sorry this ain't one of the happier posts. I was diagnosed with bipolar 2 about 8 weeks ago and have been on lamotrigine since. I just started 200mg/day a few days ago.

I feel more unstable than ever. I had a good week when I hit 100mg, and have been in free fall since. I'd be hard pressed to think of a time in my life things have seemed this bleak. I'm angrier than ever. I'm more anxious than ever. When I'm not experiencing those things, I just feel numb. Even unmedicated I almost never sank this low. I told this to my psychiatrist and they increased my lamotrigine dose to 200mg as mentioned above.

When is this supposed to get better? Or at least just stop getting worse? I know 8 weeks is still relatively early with lamotrigine but I don't understand how each day is just getting worse and worse.
