Thank you, sarahsweets . I dunno. I guess if I'm totally honest, I feel a bit burned. I thought menopause would bring great relief of (or do away with) my bipolar disorder symptoms. Well, not only haven't they changed - they're become worse. People with BD do tend to be less med compliant that those with other mental illnesses. I think it's because of the episodic nature of the disorder. __________________ |

Thank you. I dropped my dose of Lamictal (with Dr. W.'s approval) to 275mg and def felt depressed with a few days. That was many weeks ago. Raised it back up to 300mg and have left it there. I won't be changing it anytime soon. __________________ |

They do say no sometimes. I wouldn't want any answer from my psychiatrist that wasn't his best clinical judgement. Sometimes that means he says no.

Simply request to safely discontinue lamictal and record the convo Audio. If she says no find a lawyer cheers. It sounds like she was going to taper you down
