Hello again H,
Sorry to hear you're not doing so well. I know this sounds redundant right now, but you gotta try and stay positive and trust that the treatment will work. Your mood is going haywire right now so the important thing is that you stay somewhere you feel safe and channel all the extra energy into something. I found that when I'm going through an episode exercising really helps burn away the energy and distract me from my thoughts.
Its frustrating I know, Lamotrigine takes ages to kick in, but when it does, believe me it will be worth it. Also, you really ought to consider talking to your pdoc about adding an antipsychotic.
Do try to keep track of your mood and thoughts, if you feel like you can't write in a journal right now, there is a great free app for iPhone called 'emoods'. Helps track mood, anxiety, irritability, psychotic symptoms as well as keep track of the medications that you take. And for only 0.99/month upgrade you can get tons of more premium features, like writing time stamped thought diary, custom tracking points etc. Sorry if this sounds like an infomercial lol, its just I don't know what I would do without this app.
