Yes, it's very hard alot of the time. I have bipolar II and am on the Lamictal for the mood stabilization (I also take Prozac) I may end up going back to Depakote because it was more calming for me. I am currently on 75 mgs. Lamictal and feel much less agitation than I did at 150. I may even be able to stay on it but at a low dose, as you are.
> ohmygod! i can't imagine dealing with a 3 and 6yo at all! much let alone with depression (if that's what you're dealing with) and med side effects.
> i am not going up on lamic. i've been at 50 for a long time - 6 mos and it takes the darkest edge off my depression but the noise sensitivity is terrible, it ruins my sleep no matter when i take it, it kills my appetite (not entirely bad) and gives me diarrhea!
> have you tried anything else? that must be so hard with kids. my heart goes out to you.
