dont give up I understand!

I was actually put on Lamictal too and it made me violently suicidal. It was my 5th medication change in the last 3 months. I never thought I'd find the right one. But I did, and am more satisfied then ever.

Glad you are doing better and that your psych has a plan re meds. In terms of monitoring yourself you could do mood charting. Also I am a bgt fan of figuring out your early warning signs and making a plan of what to do if you or someone else spots these. If you want to know more about this feel free to ask.

Huge hugs

*hugs* Thanks again, Cracked!

I've actually got a mood tracker app that I've used near-daily since February (excluding hospitalization time early into its use). It's helped me keep everything in order while I have created a safety plan. :) All good suggestions that I've got in place~ <3

Yikes, that's scary, Gabby! I've had that suicidal reaction on meds too. It certainly gives the impression that things won't ever get better, and that meds won't help because they're making things worse! :shock: Glad you were able to push through it as I did as well. :D

Thank you, stay strong too!~ <3
