Struggling with Medication Side Effects

Lisa2003

I'm currently taking 50mg lamictal and 40mg geodon and I feel like it's really working against me. I'm depressed, sleeping poorly, and very irritatable. I've been on both meds for 3 weeks and it feels like it's just getting worse.

      @AnxiouslyPatience I'm really trying to trust the process but it feels like I'm just getting worse and the people around me are noticing me actively getting worse

      Lamictal works really well for me but finding the right combo is a huge task. Took me years. I've never heard of geodon but one thing that's super important is don't settle. If you don't feel right fight for your voice to be heard and change meds if you are able to. ❤️ I hope you find a good combo soon. You got this

          @Lisa2003 I've totally been there, there is hope, and I hope you're able to find a good combo soon ❤️ I had doctors tell me to wait out the meds and that 2 or 3 weeks wasn't long enough but if you feel real awful listen to your body and mind and switch sooner. If you need to message me feel free too, I know this process sucks and irritability is soul crushing
