Duloxetine: 60mg in AM Lamotrigine: 175mg in PM Side Effects: Headache in the morning. I took one Advil and it helped.  Brain fog, but still able to get primary tasks accomplished. Low energy and fatigue. Went home at half day to take a nap instead of going to the gym at lunchtime.

Duloxetine: 60mg in AM Lamotrigine: 175mg in PM First day of weening off of Lamotrigine. Took 175mg last (Wednesday) night but I am calling the first day as today in terms of any side effect records, which is the purpose of this blog. What I hope to achieve from weening off of these poison drugs is new energy, better weight management, and the ability to actually feel things.  It will be a long, difficult road but it is time to begin. I will be doing this under the supervision of my therapist. I am sober for over 2 years, and I am in a healthy place in my life to try this. I am on a low dose of the mood stabilizer. I have been on it for 10 years when they told me I was bipolar in the mental hospital. That is not true. However, it did get me through a rough decade. I am more stable than I have ever been at this point in my life.  Side effects: low energy, fatigue
