Thanks Lar, those are good questions. In the process of talking to Phillipa and Curtm, and now your questions to me, I've realized I'm starting to mess up. BECAUSE, I don't have a psychiatrist. I'm not eating, sleeping or getting outside. I left the hospital so abruptly because of an insurance screw job that I hadn't set up any aftercare program or had my meds adjusted at all.
I've never given these low dose meds a chance, because I've always either stopped them or drank on them, or both. The sad truth is that unbeknownst to my wife, I've already started tapering off of the Lamictal. And I said I was going to do things differently this time. I've spent the day trying to research alcohol's effects on brain function and structure while my cognitive functioning is still impaired. I don't get much of it yet. Yet I was hoping to find out how to medicate myself.
Tomorrow I have an eye doctor appt. A good reason to go to bed, get up, and leave the house. I'll take that as the first day back on track.
thanks,
James K
