The 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 20, filmed in June 2020, I describe a general mood of depression and sadness that has been present for several weeks. I elaborate on these feelings as familiar and frustrating, then transition into a dialogue about joy and how to access it. My statement “I think I’m dying” refers to an inner process of death, wherein parts of myself which no longer serve are decaying while others are being reborn. I conclude with a discussion on the importance of establishing a strong foundation for healing and growth alongside the process of reducing the dosage; and of allowing our towers to crumble to make way for a new and rejuvenated sense of self.
