Recovering from a episode of major depression...

This blog shall document my struggle with a mental illness. I hope anyone that comes across it, will find inspiration to continue to live and live well. Be forewarned, if negative moods and actions affect how you feel or affect your well-being then don't read my blog. Otherwise all encouraging and carefully crafted criticisms are appreciated.

Lamotrigine Regimen

Last night I took my first dose of lamotrigine since my time from being suicidal. It cost me $165 dollars for 69count of 25mg tab from my local lovely (psych) Walmart. I already feel better again. I mean I have been doing better anyway because I no longer feel suicidal, but the lamotrigine took it to a new level. I am suppose to take one pill around bedtime for seven days, then two pills at bedtime for seven days, then 3 pills at bed time for 14 days then i see my psychiatric nurse practioner again in about a month. Hopefully I will continue to have a good response to this med and stave off this feeling. . .
