I was diagnosed with bipolar type III (depression with hypomania triggered by antidepressants), even though I thing im type II, back in April. I started taking mirtazapine 15mg in December for depression and insomnia, and lithium 400mg more recently the day of my diagnosis. I’ve been having rapid changes since then, so my psychiatrist put me on lamotrigine 25mg for 2 days, then 50mg, and stopped mirtazapine. Im supposed to start tonight but I’m quite scared…

Any tips on adjusting life after the diagnosis, and starting lamotrigine ? Im quite anxious about the side effects, even more with the digestive ones as I have emetophobia.
