yes, I've heard it has bad side effects. this is all so confusing. I doubt my perceptions and thinking so much right now, and I always doubt doctors. I get their expert opinion, suggestions, then I do my homework and make a decision, but these days I just don't know. That's some time down the line though so I do have time to think about it.

I haven't taken the Lamictal in several days.....and while I'm definitely not in the deepest darkest place, I'm definitely depressed as the day goes on. I wake up in morning and the committee is already up and at me. So I take a Xanax. So not anything I've ever had to do before.

I see my talk therapist tomorrow for 1st time in about a month. So I have so much to sort out I hope I get through it all in my 50 minute hour.

Thanks for the information and your thoughts. It helps!
