Ah. Sorry to hear that. I was diagnosed 6 years ago.
Have they got you stable on medication yet?

Yeah, lamotrigine.
Side effects are clumsiness and night sweats. Lucky I'm already married, eh?

Tru fact

I'm on Lamtrigine, citalapram and diazepam (required only if I think I'm going to fit)
The side effects are a lot worse on other types of treatment than on Lamotrigine.

Carbamazepine is fucking shit. Avoid. Avoid. Avoid.
Panic attacks, hallucinations, sleep walking & loss of memory. Nasty stuff.
