All About Bipolar: Minor issues and a rant
Posted By atorturedsoul on April 30, 2009
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.
For the last two or three days, I have had quite a bit of anxiety. You know the feeling you get when you are really dreading something? Well, that’s exactly how I feel but I am not dreading anything. I was on the verge of having a panic attack yesterday afternoon and I just felt so uncomfortable – like I was giving a speech in front of hundreds of people but I was alone with my husband.
I really thought I was going to have to take a Xanax yesterday and I haven’t had to take one in a few weeks now. I don’t feel as bad today as I did yesterday but I am on edge. It’s like the feeling you have when you’re waiting on something important. I suppose I will just have to wait it out and see if it gets better within a week.
I also need to vent a little bit. My husband called me this morning on his way to work and told me a car almost hit him. He was pulling out to pass and a car that had been coming up behind him pulled out about the same time doing around 80 MPH. My husband immediately pulled the truck back into the other lane to keep it from hitting him but it was within inches that the car missed him. He tried to get the tag number but the vehicle was going way too fast to see it. He called me again once he got to work and told me he found out who it was. It’s another guy he works with. He confronted him and the guy laughed it off and said, “I have full coverage insurance.” What a blankety blank blank moron! What kind of insurance you have won’t matter if you seriously injure or kill someone. Just because you don’t care about your own well being doesn’t mean it is okay for you to take chances with other people’s lives. People like that seriously make me mad.
Well, now that I have gotten all of that out I need to find something to keep my mind busy. Have a great day!

I don’t understand why some people just don’t care about anyone but themselves – just like the driver you mentioned…. Crazy!!
I don’t have any experience or advice on the medication, other than call the DR and let them know maybe they bumped up the dosage too fast?

I know. It makes me so mad. It makes me even madder when I have my children in the vehicle and I run across a crazy driver.
That is an awfully big jump in dosage. This medication is meant to be gradually increased 1-2 weeks at a time. I think you need to call your provider!
