I tried those meds two years ago and it all went bad. Really bad. I turned Buddhist for this same reason.
I promised my self not to take any med ever again. Meditation and retreats help me badly.
Hopefully haven't been critical in years, way better than meds. I promised my self that if I ever need them, I would rather gave up everything, become a 100% spiritual and become a Monk than take Lamictal, Valproic acid, or Lithium again.
- mirimir 8y agoI suspect that monks can be depressed too. You say that you tried lamictal. But that alone won't help at all if you're depressed. It may even make you feel worse. It's the modafinil that makes me happy. But not too much, or I start to go manic. Once you're happy and energetic enough, you add lamictal for stability.
