I am having some minor issues right now and the only thing I can think of is it must be the change in dosage. It was one week ago yesterday that the doctor changed me from 50 milligrams of Lamictal to 200 milligrams. I would love to know if anyone else has experienced this.

I need advice. How do you handle people who purposely antagonize you? I am trying very hard to remain stable but certain people seem to enjoy provoking me. It’s a difficult task and the added stress makes it even harder.

My spouse is insistent that I take certain steps to keep my symptoms under control. I’ll be the first one to tell you that it is really hard living with bipolar disorder but I know it is just as difficult for my husband. I have to stay in therapy and stay on top of my symptoms so I can alert my doctors in case I need an adjustment in dose or a change in medication.
