I have bipolar 1 and was into remission for almost 2 years taking lamictal 150mg + healthy lifestyle but i decided with my psychiatrist to temper the medication because i am considering to get pregnant in the future and i noticed that i had a very low mood when i was taking only 100mg so i am back to 150mg but still have mild mood swings. My psychiatrist told me that lamictal is considered quite safe during pregnancy but my functional doctor says that it is still a risk, i wanted to ask your input on this.
Also it’s been 2 months that i am back to 150mg dose and still don’t feel stable like before, should i give myself more time or the dose isn’t working for me anymore ?
Thank you for doing this 🤍
