Hi Mari,

I hope you are okay today.
I am so glad Lara was here to help.

Prescribed increases usually move very slowly for Lamictal, in hopes of minimizing side-effects and maximizing tolerance.

Please note any new rashes and report them to your doctor immediately.

Bizi,

There is no way to know.
The pdoc changes the dose each time I see him --- when I have three mins with him. So I take what I need and ignore a guy who is not listening to me.

The last dose increase was to 75 mgs -- way more than I can handle due to side effects.

Default Work with lack of sleep

We had a two-hour meeting in which my boss

1) rushed through announcement after announcement

2) told us what the boss above her wanted from us that was STUPID.
I protested (a little) by asking questions that showed my frustration.


--
Then at 90 minutes into the meeting I politely / not so politely got up and took a break.
I announced that I had to take a break. I left my stuff but took my purse with me and said I was coming back. I went to the bathroom and bought some water from a vending machine and went back to my seat five mins before the meeting ended.


Two hours later we had another meeting.

They are hard because I have to pretend to be normal.
At any moment I could completely crack up and end up in the hospital.

So I see the meetings as lots and lots of work with serious consequences for messing up.
