I've been taking Lamictal, for 20 years. I've not been able to tolerate antidepressants, or antipsychotics. The antipsychotics turned me into a lump on the bed, then the couch, back to bed. I cannot stay conscious. The antidepressants, both SSRI and SNRI, flipped me out! The mania was pretty terrible. Hell, I worry about my mood every moment of everyday. While depressed, if I wake up, and want to do something, I worry mania is creeping up on me. If, while in depressed, I happen to have an experience that sparks joy (like seeing my only granddaughter, once a year), the threat of mania becomes a real threat. We know mania and depression will be triggered again.
Why is anyone more concerned about trying psilocybin, than any other medications?
