Reducing the Dosage #15 – Self-Reflection / 50 mg

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 15, I am 5 days into 50 mg and feeling quite depressed. However, these feelings are also likely the result of circumstances going on in my life, rather than a major withdrawal symptom. I discuss the importance of taking the time to “look at ourselves”; to reflect on how we got where we currently are, and who we want to be moving forward. This process of self-reflection is critical to moving through obstacles, and deepens our understanding of our flaws and our strengths. I conclude with a commitment to remaining positive even when the going gets tough, reiterating the importance of maintaining a good mindset at all times.
