Lamictal

Was wondering if any of you are on it and your experience? I’m now at 100mg (therapeutic dose) and don’t see any difference, but I’m going to talk to my psychiatrist about maybe increasing.

Any experiences to share?

Left out

So I’m a 30 yo mom of 2 kids. I made some “mom friends” and our kids have regular play dates. I always felt like the odd man out but I sucked it up for my kids.

Well today me & the kids went to the trampoline park, just us. When I got there I saw ALL the other moms there hanging out. I wasn’t invited. It was so embarrassing and I felt horrible.

I left shortly thereafter and just blamed it on my kids not feeling well. (This was actually true)

At this point, idk what to do. Do I just ghost them or do I slowly phase this out? Or do I speak up and be honest? They’re probably going to invite me to something in the future but I truly believe it’s only because their sons ask to play with mine.

This sucks and feels like high school all over again. I feel so unwanted. I know that I shouldn’t take this personal, as they are just “mom friends” but I still feel hurt nonetheless.

So my son is in part time preK but I really value the members of this group on giving good advice, so I hope this is OK!

My son has had this friend since he was 3.5yo. However, recently this boy (we will call him Max) has been increasingly rude to my son. They will be having fun playing and then suddenly Max will push him away and tell my son to go away. Max has pushed my son down a few times now (because Max thought it was “his turn”- it was not) and the other day excluded my son from playing with him & his friends. My son was so sad.

My son however is so forgiving and still wants to play with him. When he sees him at school- he will be so excited and say “HI MAX!” And Max will ignore him.

I’m conflicted- how do I balance forgiving others and understanding everyone has bad days but also keeping my son from being a doormat. It seems Max still asks for play dates with my son though.

Also note: I make sure my son is not instigating and causing Max to be upset. I am nearby to see what takes place.

Also note: his mom is also very exclusive to me, but I let it slide for my son’s sake. Because it’s him I care about.

I have now been on 100 mg since the 21st. I was okay on 50 mg but didn’t see a ton of benefit so I was really hopeful for this dose. I’m nearing the 2 week mark and I my anxiety has increased, I’ve been irritable, flattened, and now having suicidal thoughts and self harm urges again. (I take this for BPD)

At this point did it get better for yall? Or does this indicate this dose/drug is not for me?

I feel SO hopeless
