New Meds..

A while ago.. I wrote this-

So about a month or so ago, I started some new medication called Lamictal. It takes a while to build up the dosage so I finally have started 200 mg. The average dose that people take is about 200-300 mg. But my mom takes 450 mg so I have no idea how much I need. I was hoping that it would start kicking in after I took the 200s for a week or so. I haven’t really seen any results yet.. But hopefully sometime soon we will see some change! My new psychiatrist said that Lamictal is really good for Bipolar Depression. It’s supposed to be a mood stabilizer, an anti depressant, and it is supposed to help with migraines all in one. That would be amazing if it actually worked.. We will see what happens!

Update: THEY ARE WORKING!! :)
I'm so happy to report that I have inspiration and some energy. It has been so long since I've wanted to do anything. For the past couple months I have been more awake and now these pills give me the extra boost of inspiration. I LOVE to cook now. I'm cooking like crazy! I have been baking cookies and treats and dinner and all kinds of stuff. I've learned to make delicious spaghetti and stir fry and all kinds of delicious dinners. And I actually get up to make them That's a big step! :) So I'm happy that my pills are working. And my new psychiatrist is going good. Things are going really great!! :)
