should I take my medicine?

[rogelio63]

I was prescribed lamictal and klonopin.  First time I've ever taken any meds like this.  I took them for about one month and didn't like the way I felt.  I weaned myself off of them, cancelled my appointments to my psych NP, had an extreme suicidal episode but then,,,felt much better,,,great in fact for 3 months.
Now,,,I feel like I'm starting to slide down hill again.  I don't know what to do,,,

I would say if you feel like you're getting overwhelmed you should for sure see your doctor. You need to let them know how you felt on the medicine and all of that. We all need help in this.

Yes that problem happenned to me,, before my current recovery, as medications take a while to get out of your blood stream and you feel good at first and things start to destabilize. The best thing to do is speak to your psychiatrist and explain what you are experiencing and also why you were unable to tolerate those particular medications and they could suggest other options.
