My diagnosis has only recently changed from generalized anxiety disorder and major depression (which was dead-wrong for like 10 years) to anxiety and bipolar. I tried Vraylar for a while, but it made me super manic. I got no sleep with Vraylar. Now I’m only taking klonopin, but nothing for the bipolar. I was just prescribed Lamictal today. I’m suffering from long periods of mania with short but severe periods of depression, and sometimes both at the same time. I’m getting about 2 hours of sleep per night. Anxiety level is at 11. Feels like I’m losing my mind. I threw up at the grocery store today. Can’t think straight. My brain seems to be working against me. Starting Lamictal tomorrow. Just wanted to know if anyone else has taken this medication/ how well it worked, side-effects. I finally found a good psychiatrist and therapist, but I’m just so… worn down at this point. Hoping this will be the med that works.
