Hey gang, much love to all y’all for dealing with the collective struggle.

I’ve been taking 200mg Lamictal+Wellbutrin for Bi-polar II for a decade at this point and it has worked wonders.  However, last night something happened that made me schedule an appointment with my Doc this week and I’m curious if anyone else has experienced this.

Lamictal as we know is also prescribed for treatment of epileptic seizures, which is something I’ve never experienced.

I’m in a band in Portland Oregon, and during a set we were performing last night, the sound guy put on an intense strobe light  (that objectively was pretty sick).

Within 5 seconds of this venue wide visual effect activation, I almost passed out.  I immediately became shaken, nauseous, disoriented, twitchy, mind boggled etc…. Like a computer freezing.

I was entirely sober as well and not that nervous playing.

Has anyone else experienced this?  Particularly with Lamictal involved?  I feel like it would prevent would happened.

It scared the fuck out of me and I wanted to reach out to this subreddit to see if there’s any insight out there before I see my doc.

Thanks in advance!
