- In part 4 of this series I discuss the benefits I have been experiencing from the mood stabilizer, Lamictal. I also express frustrations I have with the mental health community: how we are treated by doctors, how we may be ignored as patients and how it feels to be a cog in the mental health machine. These frustrations lend themselves to improper medication management where the patients themselves have to manage their own medications, when we are not doctors ourselves.
I hope everyone enjoys! Like and Subscribe.
YES. completely - "very clinical and empathy and the general sense of being a human being" is my frustration
in this world, it’s hard to find any doctor who looks at you as another human being. sad reality
Im been through the same thing they make you feel worse actually at times less than a human i had someone at my old clinic done my assessment told me mental patients are like cattle your known by a number on a chart. So much more sorry you had to go through that hope things are better now ❤ im on day 14 of lamictal just went up for the first time today. Ive had stomach virus typer stuff lots of heartburn werid burping thing and a stuffy nose all started the 4th day still going on but i do feel better far as my anxiety just these other things going on
Yes! I feel ignored. Multiple therapists I have told certain drugs didn’t work for me in the past and 20 minutes later they are pushing the same drug on me. It’s incredibly frustrating especially for how much money this can cost. It’s hard to trust people already. This just adds fuel to the fire. It’s so hard to find the right therapist. Thank you so much for sharing, I also have a really hard time going anywhere by myself. Really feeling a lot less alone in this right now.

They should never that anything personal! Have you told them you feel this way?
I’m sorry to hear that about your relationship with your therapist, what I suggest is find another therapist or be very honest with your therapist and your psychiatrist. If you don’t have a good relationship with both your therapist and psychiatrist please find another one with good references. The other thing as a bipolar 2 with Lamictal you must start at the lowest dose and gradually increase the dosage under the direction of your psychiatrist. Don’t give up on Lamictal but you notice a rash while on Lamictal contact your doctor immediately. Good luck
thank you so much for your response !
I did start on a low dosage and built my self up. Only reason I haven’t left this specific therapist/psychiatrist combo is because I am in an outpatient program which is due to be over soon. Can’t choose your drs in those programs. Good luck to you too 💜
Why do you take it at night took my first dose this morning
Talking about metal health?
I got sick of the Bullcrap with the Mental Health System, I am now being treated with meds by my Primary Care Physician . For me personally.....thats the way to go
You’re lucky that you were able to get treated for mental health by meds prescribed by your primary care, like you prefer. Most drs won’t do that, mine won’t. Are you seeing a therapist as well?
We should do a collaboration!
Hey maybe! I will have to do some thinking about what a good video collab may look like. Have you been uploading content?
