SwimModSponges Posted February 11, 2018 Posted February 11, 2018 Prior to being prescribed, I already ran my ass off at work because I'm a high-energy person. I often worried that people thought I was on speed. Now I worry people think I'm on cocaine. Like, really good cocaine.

SwimModSponges Posted February 11, 2018 Author Posted February 11, 2018 (edited) I want to say Lamotrigene or something like that. It's Lamictal. It's a pretty low dose and the doctors say it's about the safest medication, so it's probably all in my head and I just really like pushing myself to go faster. Still though.

Phillies Posted February 11, 2018 Posted February 11, 2018 I've heard Lamictal can make a normal person hypomanic, you might want to talk to your doctor about that.

No one should ever look up any anticonvulsive. It shows that it's a mild depressant, Also it nullifies hormonal birth control.

If it doesn't stop after 4-6 weeks you need to talk to doctor about it. You are just taking it for epilepsy I am guessing?
SwimModSponges Posted February 11, 2018 Author Posted February 11, 2018 Yep. And I mean it's not a problem or anything, I just bust my ass at work slightly more, I'm mostly pretty chill when I'm at home I think. Not super-manic or anything like that. My dad is bipolar; I know a manic episode when I see one. The fact that I haven't gone out and built a bomb shelter in the backyard means we're pretty good yet.
Doom Metal Alchemist Posted February 12, 2018 Posted February 12, 2018 A. Maybe the increased energy is due to the fact you are happy to be on meds that are (apparently) working in preventing seizures and you're just in a very good mood about that that has the side effect of you having increased energy. B. If someone confronts you about being on drugs to account for your increased energy, say you recently got addicted to energy drinks.

I like that. Let's go with that. B. If someone confronts you about being on drugs to account for your increased energy, say you recently got addicted to energy drinks. I make it pretty well known that I'm on drugs. I'm pretty open about my experience with the seizures (partially because my pills make me a bit of a chatty cathy) and the other day I forgot to take my morning dosage, let my leader know, had somebody go to my place, grab my pills, and bring them to me. In fact, today I was checking numbers and whatnot in production, and turned to one of the folks there and said "Hey, I think this seizure medication is probably a stimulant," to which she replied "Well no duh..." Got an absolute shit ton done today. Would have liked to have done more, but it's only sunday and we're already so dang far ahead it's not even funny; model stock was at +398 or something this morning.
Doom Metal Alchemist Posted February 12, 2018 Posted February 12, 2018 @SwimModSponges by drugs I meant speed and cocaine, since in the OP you said you were concerned with people possibly thinking you were on them.
SlappyKincaid Posted February 12, 2018 Posted February 12, 2018 probably better than them thinking you're dying if you're having a seizure

pail Posted February 12, 2018 Posted February 12, 2018 Sometimes I smoke weed a couple hours before work and when I get there I'm like "Oh man. I should have stayed home for a couple more hours. I am too high." Then a couple hours go by and I'm fine.
Mix Posted February 12, 2018 Posted February 12, 2018 took a pill found while clearing out my stash, might not have guessed right as to what it was....still hasn;t worn off......I feel like i've done irreprable damage to my body.....plus sude, pretty sure i've figured out my life path

I've taken that, in fact I'm in the process of titrating down off of it right now. I was taking it for trigeminal neuralgia, though. It is a stimulant, a muscle relaxer.
