Jane’s Journey: Getting off Lamotrigine/Lamictal after 36 Years
Show Notes

Although Jane never believed she had bipolar disorder, she was prescribed Lamotrigine/Lamictal for bipolar disorder in 1982. In 2018, after taking Lamictal for over 36 years, she wanted to get off of it safely. Is it possible to come off a medication after taking it for over three decades? What needed to happen in order for her to have a safe withdrawal? Jane and I revisit her healing journey: what needed to heal and how it was accomplished. What has life been like for Jane without a psychiatric diagnosis, chronic mental health symptoms, or a need for a prescription medication? Listen as Jane and I catch up on her ongoing adventures.
