Lamotrigine and adhd

Hello im a 20 year old male that has suffered pain for 3 years now. My doctor thinks its sunct/suna. My pain is triggered by weed and im woldering if anybody else here has had weed as a trigger. Ive found 2 other guys(males) on forum with the same problem.
Before the pain i was smoking weed almost everyday. I nevwe had any problems with my nerves or with smoking weed generally. I was also on adhd medication(elvanse) for 3 years but i quit it about 3 months after the pain began because i tought it would help. I have not tried to smoke weed as in grass to check if it would help because its so painful and lingering for days after.
Ive been vaping hhc and hhco because it would work in smaller doses and right now on my new medication (lamotrigine) that is the one that works the best and with eye drop spray(eye drops trigger the pain sometimes, especially when im high). It feels like its getting better with each day but yesterday i didnt have my spray and I got pain from vaping and it feelt like it was goikg down to my finger and i had to have it in a position or else it would hurt all over my my left arm to my finger and my ribcage and eye

I have adhd, autism, ocd, anxiety, depression, arfid (fear of choking and vomitting) and bipolar 2 is in question.
Failed meds: mirtazapine, zyprexa, zoloft, abilify, effexor, adderall. Lamotrigine kind if helped the depression, but that's when my anxiety got worse so i went off. Ritalin was okay, but curbed my appetite and made my ocd worse.
Lorazapam helps my panic at extremely low dose of 0.25mg as needed. Zofran helps my nausea.
The meds I tried and that failed it was immediate extreme side effects so they were only taken 1 or 2 days.
Where do I go from here? Any advice is appreciated. For reference I'm underweight so adhd can't be treated right now. I really need to get my ocd and anxiety and depression better, and preferably with meds that don't cause more nausea or lack of appetite.

(20,F) Idk whats wrong with me and idk if i was like this before too. Im fine at home but as soon as i go out, am around people, friends amd such, its like i lose my personality, like im a hollow person. I forget the memes or funny things ik, things I like when im with my friends. It makes me so bland and like a person without any life. Im awkward and idk why in the topic of justice or any prejudice I get so idk riled up? I fight with anyone, people in authority, just anyone without stopping. I cant stop and think, my mouth just runs and runs and I hate it. Idk how to stop. My brain is always foggy, and i cant think or remember anything. And when my friends are being silly and dancing or singing, i just freeze?? even when i know the dance steps and the songs. All of this sounds so stupid while typing here but it bothers me sm. This is all over the place too but I'm trying to not miss anything i want to rant about. Idk if its relevent but I do take meds Lamotrigine 100mg morning and night and Atomoxetine 40 mg in the morning. I was first diagnosed with anxiety and depression then BPD then I got preecribed atomox because I told my psych i may have adhd. And it works. I dont trust my psychs or my prev therapist at all. All this psychology and psychiatry feels so shallow. They only take u seriously once u show severe physical symtoms. I also took ketamine for 2 years, 6/6 months and did rTMS later. My brain keeps on telling me its because of rtms that i've changed. I feel like im a different person than i was before the treatment, idk how to ask my friends. Also, i feel like im a fun person when i meet someone for the first time but as soon as they start becoming "old" i lose the person i was before, i start becoming boring. And since on the 1st day of meeting them, im all bubbly and fun, people talk and act to me like that now and im always wondering why are these people talking like this to me or hanging out w me because im so boring. Idk whats wrong with me, i dont understand. I hope theres someone who understands even a little. This is all written jumbled up but thats how my thoughts are.

I have bipolar 2 and adhd and really struggle with insomnia partly as a result of the meds I’m on (one of which - lamotrigine - I’m slowly tapering off of).
Last night I took ok a quarter of a Natrol Sleep 5mg Melatonin gummy last night and woke up today feeling like absolute shit. Sad, grumpy, foggy, headache, and like my brain doesn’t quite work.
Is this likely to be an interaction with my meds? I’m on 30mg vyanse, 20mg Prozac, and 75mg lamotrigine, or more likely just due to it being an American brand and likely ten times stronger than what it says on the bottle? (I read somewhere that this is the case with US melatonin supplements??).
Either way it looks like I’m going to have to rule melatonin out, too — after already having ruled out a microscopic dose (quarter of a 25mg pill) of promethazine hydrochloride, as well as 25mg nytol. (Obv not all three together— I’ve trialled each individually, with terrible results). Or could it just be that people with adhd and bipolar 2 are more sensitive to sleeping pills…? This is all so ridiculous. I just want to be able to sleep!!

Hi all,
I (19F) take methylphenidate for ADHD and I have a prescription from my psychiatrist (I am also prescribed guanfacine, lamotrigine, and venlafaxine). I just accepted a summer job offer as a counselor at a kids' summer camp through my town but they are requiring a drug test. I'm concerned that methylphenidate will turn it positive (since I read it's chemically similar to amphetamines) and I'm not sure what to do to not lose the job. Should I ask my psychiatrist for a note to give to the testing clinic and/or employer, or should I tell the supervisor beforehand? I don't want to disclose more health info than I need to. Just looking for input and how docs typically handle situations where someone is on a necessary prescription that will trigger a drug test.

I was diagnosed with bipolar spectrum/cyclothymia years ago, after multiple medication changes I had settled on sertraline and lamotrigine with good effect for years, besides intermittent deterioration in mood that's was managable. I've since been diagnosed with ADHD due to increasing mixed depressive and hypomanic symptoms. I'm soooo confused. The treatment options between the 2 diagnoses seem polar opposites, and I'm petrified of long term consequences of chronic stimulant use (dexamphetamine that was swapped to Vyvanse). I'm wondering if anyone could shed some light on the differences between these 2 conditions and whether they are often co-morbid? I can read as much as I like but all the data seems conflicting.

I had established care with a psychiatric nurse practitioner and now she is moving to somewhere else and I can’t make another appointment to see a new provider till the end of July. Sigh… all this meds stuff is just really frustrating. I wanted to keep tweaking things cause I don’t know how I feel about my current meds I’m feeling weird about it and I’m on so many different things, last time we upped my adhd meds, it’s Strattera but I am not sure if it’s doing anything idk how I’m supposed to feel but I feel tired everyday.
I’m on buspirone Sertraline Strattera And Lamictal (Lamotrigine)
It’s so many things and idk how to feel but too bad I guess I better get used to it for now. Feeling really frustrated and sad. Yk it’s funny everyone is always like get help if you are struggling yadayadayada, but sometimes it feels impossible to even do such or maybe you will get on the meds and feel better from anxiety but still feel off and then your provider will just leave. I’d just started seeing her in February or something.
I just feel sad and uncomfortable being on all these things with no doctor for quite sometime

Sometimes I'm not sure and they are treated so differently. Do I need more Vyvanse or Vraylar? ADHD specific therapy or adjust lamotrigine?
Which illness is making me depressed? Am I couch locked from task paralysis or is it anhedonia?
Are the obsessive thoughts adhd hyperfocus or hypomanic racing thoughts on a certain subject? Fidgeting because I'm bored with ADHD or psychomotor agitation from the bipolar?
I'm not well right now and see my psych in two weeks. I hope he can pick this apart because I don't know what condition is to blame. Could be both I guess.
I'm really not having a good time.

Hi there! I take Lamotrigine, Quetiapine, Vyvanse, and Gabapentin. I just weaned off Duloxetine and the last month was an emotional nightmare. I’m officially done with it now and I feel a bit better. I’ve been on all those meds for 6 years now. I had post partem depression with last child and let these doctors pile on meds because I hated myself I thought I was just being a lazy scumbag. I had no clue I was sick with depression. I want to know who I am under all these meds. I do not want to be trapped in a giant medicine pool that I can’t get out of if I wanted to. I feel like my body is held hostage. My plan is to wean everything down to the lowest dose of Lamotrigine and keeping my 40 mg Vyvanse. In all honesty I truly believe the only thing I needed was adhd meds. My whole life would have been different had ADHD been an actual thing in the world I grew up in. I do have Bi-polar and ADHD. My bi-polar has a huge lean towards being more mania than depression. I truly miss myself and my mania. I’m going to start to wean off Lamotrigine in about 2 weeks. I’m always long winded so here’s my actual point. I’m scared. I’m scared of the emotional roller coaster. Have any of you had bad emotional experiences getting off Lamotrigine by weaning the correct way under doctors supervision? Any good experiences? What am I going to go through? I am super afraid to make this next commitment.
