So yeah, by the way, getting off of that too after about 15 years.
The much more significant change for me was getting off of Adderall, which was the entire impetus for this blog, but this so far has been easy enough to the point where I am not even really documenting it aside from this post.
So basically, I am reducing by 4ths of the original dose:
- 2 weeks at 200 MG
- 2 weeks at 150 MG (<- where I am at as of 5/20/25)
- 2 weeks at 100 MG
- 2 weeks at 50 MG
- DONE!
So far, there have been no noticeable side effects, so this is cool.
Nonetheless, This is a Victory Worth Celebrating
Being done with Lamictal doesn’t only mean being done with Lamictal…it also means being done with psychiatry altogether, That’s not to knock it, at all. I know for some people it’s an absolute must.
But I need to spend a little bit more mental headspace really letting it sink in that I am getting the fuck off of psyche meds, which is something that many are told is an impossible dream.
So here I am to say it’s not. And, if you haven’t read anything else on this blog, let me tell you that my life is anything but easy, at least at this moment. By most accounts, this would be one of the worst possible times in my life to stat getting off of addictions. But by the same token this is probably one of the best times, since I need to lose as much “inner weight” as possible.
So anyhow, it’s official, Lamictal is on its way out, will post again to confirm it’s official exit from my life. :)
