I know I asked about this but I have to ask again:
I'm just baffled how this med at only half of the .25 mgs can make such a difference! I'm working up to a full.25 though but how can this med make me do things like clean and organize and not bicker with others? ! I'm loving this med so far (knocking on wood) but I just don't get how such a small dose can have any impact like this! I'm taking it for mood control and my husband noticed a difference on only half of the .25 as did I. I've even gotten to show a bit of affection towards my husband (long story) without cringing, I'm laughing, thinking clearer and sharper, feeling smarter, more decisive and plain feeling like a new person and I've not thrown anything in days though i've had a few urges but found out my blood sugar was getting low and now I have run off a Few times a stream of cuss words but I'm sure when I get to the full .25(tonight) that things will continue to get better. I am NOT depressed at all nor was I. I just don't understand how this pill that some refer to as poison can make me feel this way? Will this wear off as I get use to the dose? The other thing about this med is the crazy dreams, last night was with homer and Marge Simpson, I don't remember it but I remember being with them and they were cartoons but real size life like and I was talking to them LoL.This is my 2nd time on this med and i got off it before because i was afraid of seizures and diabetes stuff but i just could not get the thought out of my head of how even keeled i felt but not numb by any means. I can feel that feeling coming back again. I'm not as afraid as i was then but i am seeing a neurologist May 12th to discuss my fears and phobias of the seizures with this med and possible alternatives like Lamictal though i worry about the rash with that.
I see why they call them "mood stabalizers" so glad it didnt stabalize my bad mood lol!
so any insight on what the heck this med is doing to me would be great and sorry for repeating it again but this is a bit different then last thread.
