In reply to say whats on my mind.., posted by sam K on October 2, 2008, at 10:40:06
What dose of Lamictal are you taking?
Any other prescription meds?
Any other supplements besides the Lithium Orotate?> for the past few days I've been taking Lithium Orotate and I'm feeling more down. Just more sad, but my Lamictal is keeping me from going into a depression. I took some caffeine to get rid of this depression-like feeling this morning. I get anxious about everything, and mostly feel empty. I'll do anything to not go back to that hell. Anything. I can handle the feeling of being depressed, but not the disease like depression.
> Well anyway, Lithium orotate did help my mind shut up for once. So I was thinking maybe some perscription Lithium would help me? My mind is always racing. Even now a bit.
> I know the only way to see if there's side effects is experience, but what are the chances of getting unpleasant side effects at a low dose? Like increased appetite/weight gain (that is a killer for me, I'm working on it though), thyroid stuff.
> I was born with a low thyroid, but they gave me medicine and it went away. All my blood tests show normal now. Sometimes I just wish all this was an underlying problem..
> Well that's all. I really appreciate this board, there are some really intelligent people, as well as compassionate people.
> By the way, I know I shouldn't care what people think, but I'm in a low place right now so I hope I don't come off as a mopey guy. I just feel different than I ever have.
