This was over a year ago & I've probably posted about what I call my "waves". They are like a quick mood dip, varying in intensity. They may be 10 min apart, or constant.
Dexedrine = bad for mood swings
Lamictal = stabilizer
They began a few months after starting Dexedrine, but I noticed from what I logged, it was right after increasing Lamictal to 400- like within the week.
I often have a paradoxical reaction to meds. I got more depressed on Thyroid! My dr. thinks i'm an odd case.
When I did a trial of natural Progesterone (tests shows that my estrogen was super high). That started a whole new kind of wavy-weirdness that continued after I stopped the Progesterone.
My recent ect round seems to have gotten rid of them (thank god). I always thought they had some kind of seizure mis-firing component.
But yesterday I wondered if they were coming back.
Lamictal also seems to screw around with my hormones.So, I would like some opinions. The text book answer would be Dex. But the timing points more to Lamictal.
