Two months since I last wrote! Yea I guess I am not as good at this as I hoped I would be....But I figured today would be a good day to do a new post! I had my monthly appointment with the doctor. At the moment I am on 50mg of Lamictal 2 times a day. It's not going to well. Mostly because I only ever get about half of my dose. I ALWAYS forget my morning dose. Too much going on, and even with little notes around I still forgot, so I pretty much gave up on it. My doctor saw that Lamictal has an XR (extended release where you only have to take it once a day) version so she called my pharmacy to see if it would work for me....its not available in Canada! So I spent the last month looking online at different options and went in armed and ready for my appointment to talk about either adding a prescription or stopping completely for something else.
She was great and is consulting with my psychiatrist to see which two would be best (one that he had suggested and one that I suggested). My choice is Latuda, but it is new my doctor wanted another opinion to see if it would work. I can't remember the name of the one she suggested but hopefully in the next week we are weaning me off of the Lamictal and onto a new medication. Its frustrating when nothing seems to work right.
