Hi, Jeroen,
Thanks for answering my question. I'm going to ask more, though.
Do you have auditory or visual hallucinations? Pressured speech? Flight of ideas? You've mentioned paranoia, which can be related to psychosis. When you are "losing it," what does that look like for you? Are you angry with people? Frightened? So depressed you want to crawl into bed and never come out again? Do people tell you that you're not making sense or that you are experiencing disordered thinking?
Also, what is the course of your illness? Were you diagnosed before starting the Lamictal? Did your diagnosis change because of your response to Lamictal? Again, the more clear the picture, the better the chance at a helpful answer.
I have no doubt whatsoever that you're suffering, Jeroen, and suffering greatly. I wish I could help you. Maybe having some better idea of what psychosis looks like for you will help with ideas about good medication options for you.
Oh, and if it helps any -- I believe English is not your native language? And you're living in a non-English speaking country? If that is indeed the case, just the fact that you can express yourself in a foreign language makes me think that your thinking probably isn't severely disordered, if at all. ;-)
