3 month in

About three months ago, they started me on Lamictal for bipolar type two. Since I got past 50 mg per day (now at 100) I have had increased anger, nightmares, poor sleep, joint pain, weight gain (10#) and just generally feel off. Moods are less extreme but not noticeable most days due to waking up raging and then spending the rest of the day trying to do breathing exercises to keep from being the hulk at the most minor inconveniences. This anger wasn’t there before I took the meds. I’ve asked the MD every session, what’s with this anger, does it get better, I think it’s the meds. Every time she says no, the med doesn’t do that. I haven’t said anything lately because I don’t think increasing the dose will help. I’m going to start tapering off and then say nothing. I would say I will get a new MD but they all do this. Start a med, tell my symptoms aren’t from the med even though I didnt have them before I started the med and then just try to increase the dose. I CANT! Thanks for reading, comment if you like, let me know if this is something others experience?
