From my Twitter: Dr. Van Dyke almost killed me putting me on Lamictal. I was finally off of it and two days later, out of nowhere, almost lost myself. Trying to find my cell phone...I know too many lawyers...it wouldn't be for me it would raise awareness
I just got back. I had temporary amnesia, dizziness, rage. I was crying my eyes out thinking I was going crazy. I can't really describe the feeling but I think this is was hell feels like. Pain, seizing, horrible fear, really bad eye sight, just praying it's over soon or....yeah.
At one point I passed out and went into sleep paralysis. Finally found out it was Lamictal withdrawal. I thought I had gotten over that but it seems it can take up to a few days for it to hit you. This doesn't happen to everyone and you can do it. I'm still waiting for someone to call me back and yes I can out this "psychiatrist". He hands out cards like crazy. He's well known. Douchebag. I was not warned of the withdrawal effects. Thank God I fired him after two sessions. I could tell something was up the minute he acted rude, 40 mins late, was inconsiderate, etc...
To the person who referred him: sweetie, you're crazier than I am.
Learn from my sneaky ass ex psych: try to grill them (it's your life don't be afraid to), do background checks, try to find other patients (or victims) of theirs, learn their from experiences.
At the moment I'm reading an "article" someone pointed out to me:

Listen to my hero. Hopefully you'll hear him and his message of hope and making a difference:
