Bipolar medication (Lamictal) isn't working for me?

I've tried Lithium, it made me feel spacey and emotionally limited. Plus drinking all that water to make up for the salt got to me. So I switched to Lamictal, which has been working ok for me, I assume. However, my life hasn't been going too great and I'm having a much harder time fixing it than I usually do. I know it's under my control, but I can't help but wonder if the Lamictal is playing a part in the direction my life is going. I don't know if I'm different than I used to be since I started taking it, I can't remember. I think I feel slightly dumber and more detached than I used to, but I don't know for sure.


Hi joe,


I'm not a psychiatrist. These are matters that you should discuss with your psychiatrist. Please do not self-medicate. I'm not familiar with Lamictal. Lithium is the only mood stabilizer I know.
