Long story but I've been on different medications for like 5 years for depression and anxiety, but this year I got diagnosed with autism and it's pretty clear to me that I was dealing with autistic burnout and not clinical depression. Fortunately my doctor is receptive to the idea so we stepped down my lamictal from 200mg to 150mg and a week in I feel really fucking bad.
Anyone have advice or anything they're comfortable sharing about tapering off of meds? Mainly lamictal and Wellbutrin (haven't started reducing it yet) but anything could be helpful.
Can you talk with your provider again? If you aren't tolerating whatever taper you are doing, I'd recommend asking your provider if you can go slower. I also wouldn't recommend tapering off both at the same time (although unclear how long you've been on bupropion, specifically). Your provider or their staff likely can call to check in to see how you are tolerating tapering and make recommendations.
Best of luck comrade
i didn't make it clear, sorry, but i'm definitely not going to start tapering bupropion until i'm completely done with lamictal
honestly i feel bad but its more like a level of being pretty sick, i don't feel like i'm in danger or anything. so we'll just continue carefully i think
thanks for your advice comrade
