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.
(Note: I went up from 9.5 mg to 12.5 mg since the last episode due to unmanageable side effects).
In episode 26, I mention how recurring suicidal thoughts have been affecting my everyday life, and that I am considering going back up from 12.5 mg to re-stabilize. I have found a psychiatrist I have faith in and joined a weekly therapy group that is helping me immensely. I catch myself going into negative prediction thought loops and discuss the benefit of awareness as a tool to interrupting these patterns, such that I can live a less fear-based, and more present life.
