Reply to comment by luttman23 in In England, the proportion of children and adolescents prescribed antipsychotics doubled from 0.06% to 0.11% between 2000 and 2019 — study suggests antipsychotics are prescribed for an increasingly broad range of reasons, the most common being autism by marketrent

Lamotrigine? Its a great mood stabilizer.

It is Lamotrigine! 300mg a day along with 1500mg of lamictal which look like suppositories. Feels like I think slower since taking lamotrigine but when I tried not taking them, seizures.

Maybe your body / brain in this case can become reliant on them? I'm going to look into them more and educate myself from reliable sources.

Lamictal is name brand lamotrigine. That’s a lot! My doctor was nervous upping my dose to 200mg.

Other Anti-seizure meds are used for anxiety and adhd as well. It’s fascinating really.

Oops sorry, I meant 3000mg of Levetiracetam (keppra) - they have daft names, it's easy for me to get them mixed up. It's also interesting to me that much like anesthesia, it's known that it works, but not quite how.
