    Deciding on changing my bipolar medication... #BipolarDisorder #Bipolar2Disorder #Bipolar1Disorder #MentalHealth #Medication

    Hey everyone. I've been taking Quetiapine and Lamotrigine for a few years now. They have helped me so much to gain stability. It's not been perfect, and doubtfully ever will. Life is generally full of ups and downs, but the medication takes the edge off.
    I would just like to try something new. And thinking of asking to be prescribed lithium alone.
    The only issue I have is that my mother ended up with her thyroid being damaged to prolonged use of lithium. I've suffered with kidney stones as well, and tend to not drink enough fluids...

    Lamictal side effects?

    Anyone have alternating...um... gastrointestinal patterns when on Lamictal? Was one way for months now swinging the other way after increasing my dose. At least I hope it's Lamictal. And before you say it, it is doing wonders for me mentally so I won't switch or decrease my dose. Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this.
