Thank you to the moderator that reported my issues on lamectol
My practitioner said :: It's going to be ok. No one gets leveled out immediately. I knew we would need adjusting I was just waiting for it. This is anticipated, not fun, but not a surprise.
Also she responded::
Serotonin syndrome is where you tip too much one way and it can cause the symptoms you're mentioning.
Cut in half. It'll be ok. We'll work through it.
Yes, cut in half. I didn't know what we would need to alter, just knew that we usually have to play with meds a bit to get leveled out. It's like cooking and you have to keep tasting the food until you get the right blend of spices.
Ok I have hope again dear Jesus I couldn't handle the sweats I will keep updating how this levels out and appreciate all the help.
I know what it's like for those that have been hospatilized, manic, depressed... I spent 4 years 94-98 without a good day. I did all I could living clean and sober but situational issues as well as menapausal symptoms never having a child all those dynamics and after 14 years without meds I truly never meant to go back to herbal solutions that didn't help it was a downward spiral..
I truly sought inner healing fought daily even when I didn't feel like it I read the word and spoke out loud to myself by faith... But god gave us medicine and the path of healing and deliverance is different for all.. Bipolar people can swing to other addictions including codependency focusing on taking care of others not to deal with ones own issues.. For me a religious addict for a long season only to have a revelation that there is a fine balance to the scales of balance and order in ones life.. I remeber believing that because I was able to get off all meds and was healed of the mania I also was not discerning nor using wisdom that everyone had a path they would have to walk through.. It's a tough world for women we have had to become somewhat man line and I know that I am not wired that way.. I was a survivor and the last year I didn't give a crap was totally not in character to who I really am... Truly heaven seemed to be the only hope and I was broken, barren, not just physically but spiritually and emotionally. My tank ran dry I was on empty. No one could fix me I had to reach the bottom once again never thinking it would happen.. Thank god I knew the difference in a good psychiatrist .. Therapist... Mentor... To all suffering find people to surround u strong and hold yourself accountable when in the lows and beware if the highs .. Shopping drinking out of character behavior and self medicating with alcohol and non prescript
ion herbal remedies that keep one in a sleep and slumber mode... Any suggestions for me being near 45 and others that have had to restart meds I would appreciate insight and help as I am on a different road to healing in my mid life crisis... I need a new vision without idols of the perfect family a child ... I have succeeded in business yet it doesn't satisfy. My marriage is being restored yet he can't fix me. I'm learning to love me again as the old wounds surfaced and are uncovering ... But deep within my soul I have hope and I knkw that all I've been through will help others through even when I don't feel like it loving and giving if myself takes my focus off the self loathing and self pity.. I'm climbing out of this pit once again.
