After months of being on lithium and it making me gain 40 lbs in 3 months, and having a 7 day long headache. I'm finally transitioning to lamotrigine.

I used to be on it for only about a month at 25 mg. I know for a lot of people it's a miracle med (wished I'd stayed on it longer before) but better late than never right? 

Hoping I have the same effects that others do, and can finally lose all the med weight without lithium weighing me down, no pun intended lol. 

Weening off the lithium though I do not like. Lightheaded, still the mild headache, and my eyes feel weird. My head feels almost like I'm buzzed. Not sure if that's normal. But excited for this new chapter and hopes that I can finally feel balanced. :)
