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 29 (filmed in April 2021), I am choosing to stabilize at 12.5 mg for a few months before reducing my dosage again. The withdrawal process became too overwhelming to focus properly on work and my relationships were in jeopardy of suffering. After trying to reduce from 12.5 mg several times with little success, I ultimately decided to take it easy for a while rather than forcing the process. It took at least 2.5 months before deciding to reduce my dosage again (in June 2021 – see Episode 30, coming soon). I started doing kundalini yoga and taking ashwagandha and high doses of fish oil to help strengthen my nervous system and brain health. I also talk about belief systems and separating ourselves from the collective consciousness to find clarity in individuation.
