I'm always cold and being cold makes me feel miserable - I have really poor circulation as it is in my hands and feet and once they turn white it takes a long time for them to warm back up - sometimes even hot water running in the tub wont help.
I'm addicted to scorching hot tea and soups - I feel so much better when I'm warmed from the inside out
I would never get out of bed in the mornings because its so cold unless I really really really had to go to the bathroom - so now to make sure I get up for work I drink a bottle of water right before I get into bed and it never wakes me up in the middle of the night but as soon as my alarm goes off I HAVE to get up.
Day 8 of Lamictal and the 7th day I'm off my pill (I stopped taking it Friday instead of Saturday because I just really wanted to get this over with - especially before Saturday when we have Halloween parties to go to) I'm not feeling any better depression wise but from everything I've read it takes time and I'll need to be at a higher dose before I feel any real relief.
I also read that when you are in the process of working up to a steady dose Lamictal will have you feeling good one week and then crappy the next until you up your dose again.
I've had some headaches and stuffy head but those are easy to handle.
I hate going to work and would LOVE if I could work from home - I'm not sure if its social anxiety or if its just depression - it could more the depression because thinking about getting dressed and putting on makeup and going to work is what I would love to avoid.
