Bipolar Disorder Medication Management

I just can’t seem to get my Lamictal regulated. I have had trouble remembering if I have taken my meds! It’s ridiculous. I’ve been taking this drug for three years! Why on earth would I suddenly have dosage problems?

Our bodies change over time- they change with stress too.

I’m going back to my measured medication box- the one that says Monday, Tuesday, etc on it.  I have to get back on track as the withdrawal symptoms are really, really painful!  I’m twitching and jerking pretty badly.

I wonder if you have medication problems? Many people do. A friend of mine just went off his antidepressants- but he did well. Another friend is reducing her anti psychotic- but she had to stop for a while to let her body acclimate to the lower dose. It’s all about the liver!

You will only get this joke if you watched Saturday Night Live in the 70s. If you have not seen the skit, it’s worth watching!
