I haven't been on meds since I was about 20 (I'm 26 now) and I was only on Cymbalta to help manage my anxiety. Basically, I've never actually tried to get any help for my BPD since I was diagnosed at 18.

Today, as in the title, was my first visit to a new psychiatrist. He's referred me to a psychologist in his building, prescribed me Lamotrigine and Clonazepam and has asked me to keep seeing my GP fortnightly and he wants to see me again in a month.

Being that this is my first time trying to work on my BPD, I have no idea what these drugs are. Google is honestly terrifying, so I thought rather than freak myself out, I'd ask you guys to share a bit of your knowledge about them (If you've taken them). I know one is a mood stabilizer and the other is a type of sedative but that's it.

Mood stabilizer just sounds so much more intense than antidepressant :/ so I'm a little nervous about what effect these meds are going to have.
