So now I\u2019m only on 50mg of lamotrigine. \u00a0It\u2019s a tiny amount. \u00a0The idea is that I\u2019ll stick with it a few months and in maybe 6 months I\u2019ll try coming off completely, unless I\u2019ve had to up my dose again. \u00a0It\u2019ll have some roughness with it, which I\u2019ve noticed a bit already, due to the change in chemistry in my brain. I\u2019m happy to come off if I can keep reasonably stable. All ok so far bar minor blips but that\u2019s ok. \u00a0 \u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0 Work is busy and itslooking like a busy year ahead with a few possible changes involved too. \u00a0However at the moment money is beyond tight. \u00a0I\u2019ve had to set up a payment plan with HMRC as I\u2019ve not been able to pay my tax and it was over due. Luckily they took onboard my reasons. \u00a0Having the operation cancelled and then actually having it a month away from Christmas has seriously thrown things into disarray. \u00a0I also had to put off Decembers mortgage payment. I now have to top up payments over the next 3 months. \u00a0It\u2019s tight but I think I\u2019ll be ok. \u00a0I\u2019m trying not to stress but it\u2019s tight. \u00a0It\u2019s possible that this blog might have to disappear as it\u2019s up for renewal on 11th. \u00a0I\u2019ll try finding a way of sorting it so it doesn\u2019t go but if it does I hope I\u2019ll be able to bring it back online. \u00a0If not I wish you all well. \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last Tuesday I had a doctors appointment for a med review. \u00a0We chatted a few things through and talked about dosages etc. \u00a0We\u2019ve decided that I\u2019ll lower my dose by half.
