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 18, filmed in April 2020, I discuss the importance of balancing our desire to withdraw from the medication with the need to function effectively for ourselves and others. I quickly realize going from 37.5 mg to 25 mg is too much to handle, and talk about how weaning off prescription medication can be an intuitive process. I conclude with an example of how turning our focus outward on the needs and pain of others can actually help us through our own internal process.
