I have been on lamitcal since September of last year. it seemed like it helped me and I got off of it for a little bit. I got back on it around the time I did an all-nighter. and ever since I have been dealing with so much anxiety everyday since then. it's caused me to look at life in a very bad negative way. my doctor put me on it because he thought I was bipolar. but my therapist doesn't think i fall in the category bipolar. I have a history of getting on med then stopping them and when I get back on them it doesn't work or makes things wors. my doctor wants me to stay on it with welbutrin. I started it last week. it feels like it's making me feel even worse. doesn't help that I just turned 40. I really want to get off of meds all together. I feel like I have been more miserable on them.
