Struggling with Mental Health Medication

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.

I have another question, has anyone felt like that you were feeling disconnected from reality from taking this med? That's how I felt and I am still feeling being on this med.

Anyone have an experience with lamictal giving them heartburn?

I'm on Lamictal for my epilepsy, and if I miss a dose, I feel like death warmed over. I've not had problems with the med not working afterwards, and I've been on it since 2009.

I was on both of those I got off Wellbutrin and did a lot better I’m getting off of Lamictal because I feel the medications are making me worse I got off all medications for about 3 months years ago and did great I stupidly got on one, then, two, then three. The last two years were horrible. I feel these medications are rotting my brain. I think medications can help some people I feel more of us it just makes us worse My hope and feeling is that there are a lot more natural options for us to get better

can you share more? What are some of the natural things you have used? I don't think my medicine is working. I feel numb emotionally sometimes and of her time very anxious.
