Hi, :hug: :hug: :hug:

Each step towards getting well is hard. Some steps are harder than others. Maybe the next step will be easier.
Get through this first step and get closer to feeling better.

That's all I can do is take one step at a time. If I push myself to do more I know I will crash and crash hard so I conquer one thing at a time.

Do you suffer with depression? sorry if you mentioned this already. Maybe your regular doctor would prescribe an anti depressant?
just a thought.

I can't take anti-depressants they make me very sucidal so that's not good

The other suggestion I have is. That sometimes a neurologist has some
experience with behavioral drugs. Which sometimes these are considered
in the category of.

And sometimes they prescribe them for patients, so you might see if
you can get into a neurologist.

Some of the drugs that are used for mood stabilizers, and the bipolar
drugs are ones that neurologist are very familiar with.

And they then can lots of times get you into a psychiatrist.

Hope you find something that works.

Keep working on this. There are newer drugs. And maybe you could
use one of these.

wow! you have been on the medication merry-go-round.
just curious if when (if you remember) when You took the lamictal if you took it at night? Did you try taking it during the day? or were you like manic on it? not sleeping at all?
Just curious. I take it at night with out a problem but I have to take klonipin to get me to sleep. It works most nights that is unless I have had too much to drink.
