Reducing the Dosage series is a collection of videos following my journey as I wean myself off of Lamotrigine (Lamictal), which is a mood stabilizer often prescribed for bipolar disorder.
In Episode 12, filmed in December 2019, I talk about my renewed conviction in getting off this medication when a peer reaches out urging me not to continue with the process, in response to the blog post Just Bipolar Things. I explain how Reducing the Dosage is a form of personal activism against a paradigm of Western medicine which ineffectively attempts to treat symptoms with harmful chemicals rather than healing the root cause of mental illness. I express my belief that providing this content to others can be motivational and inspirational for many people struggling with mental illness, since it shows that living a balanced life without quick-fix drugs is possible and far more fulfilling than the contrary.
