    Oh, yeah, I remember lamotrigine being weird at first. It all went away eventually, and lamotrigine ended up being a really important part of managing my symptoms. I hope you start feeling better soon!

      i’ve been looking into lamotrigine for about 4 years, the same amount of time i’ve known i was almost certainly bipolar. i like knowing fully what i’m getting into. i chose this to start with this one specifically with great intention.

      the intense joint pain was unexpected, it’s a very rare symptom. the heat flashes, the headaches, tinnitus, the intense weirdness, moreso expected (though still interesting, it’s given me various very curious intense feelings on an apparent roulette wheel.) i know enough to give it time at least, a month minimum to settle. i have hopes, people with symptoms presenting similar to mine had pretty positive results.

      i don’t feel “bad,” exactly. just very strange. though i appreciate your well wishes.
