^I never knew that.

jman, I also take Lamictal and I find it helps a lot. How much do you take?

Well I am being tapered off effexor (thank God  :asthing:) and my lamictal was increased to 200 mg and I have noticed a dramatic difference in my mood.

Effexor was rotten for me. It gave me panic attacks for no good reason and high blood pressure.

I find the effect of Lamictal spooky. I have never felt so...evened out before. Am currently on 100mg but can increase to 200mg should I feel the need. Still experiencing epilepsy symptoms when I am stressed so I may need to.

I wish you the absolute best in that it works well for you.:)

Cool.

No it's not, I want off it, It's pretty sad when you're so fucked up the gov't just hands you money. I am trying  look for a job, had an interview and got a couple others lined up for me. I am hoping for the best.

I see where you're coming from, but
I was honestly happier not working.

Oh, a job was great...at first. But
eventually I'd fall into a depression,
and just not be able to deal. The
uncertainty of when I'd get work
again was terrible. Now, I'm there
once more. In a few months, I need
to find my whole life.

You have probably already though of this, but what about volunteer work, at first?

You could gain some experience and some contacts.

Actually how I got my current job was through volunteering unfortunately it's only part time and doesn't pay enough, plus the grant money that was used to hire me is running out so I need another job and fast!

Fair enough, maybe you should listen to me and callaway and volunteer somewhere? That way you can stay productive. Working isn't just about capitalism and increasing corporate executives' stock options (though sadly in some cases, it is) it's about making your contribution to society, whether it be a contribution to the economy through paid work, or the community through volunteering.


I honestly think you should volunteer it will boost your self confidence, and the experience you get from volunteering can often lead to paid position depending on what field you choose to work in,

Another good about volunteer work is that a lot of times you can decide what to do and when, where and how long to do it.
