I was prescribed Lamictal for bi-polar disorder 2 around two months ago. Before this, I had gotten in to a really serious spot of trouble with methamphetamines and used them frequently, up until the point where I was using daily. After a month or so of daily use, I stopped, and remained clean for about two months. Now i'm taking a dose of 200mg of lamictal a day, and I recently did some methamphetamine again for the first time with some friends. For some reason, while my friends and I all did it, I didn't feel the drug. After enough to get everybody's pulse going through the roof, mine was only slightly faster than normal. I thought the quality was low, but everyone else seems to think it was as good as ever. Two days later, I did an equal amount with the same result... Is this some kind of freak permanent tolerance that i'm not aware of, or has it got to do with Lamictal? For some reason, i've got no urge to get any more meth(a good thing). Thanks in advance for any information.

I am also manic depressive. I did meth for about 7 months and stopped for a few years. I had my fun and stopped when I had my fill of it. I am now medicating with lamictal (100mg). Pre-meds my experience was the usual that one has with the drug. Euphoric for two hours, then tweaking for about six. Anyways, I recently made a horrible impulsive decision and did it again. After two lines, I felt little to nothing. (More alert and my nose felt like it was shrinking as usual..) So we whipped out the pipe. After a few bowls my buddy was high as a kite and loving life. I on the other hand felt only the negative effects that I remember so very well.. (Heart pounding, sketchy/unstable feeling, and a go go go mentality.) But it definitely didn't feel anywhere near what it did back in the day. (No euphoria)
The come down felt the same as always, body tingles and aches (tingles are not a good feeling..)
This drug now does nothing fantastic for me either. I have no urge to ever do it again. Thanks Lamictal! Makes me think someone should test it on addicts that want to quit.


On a side note. I wouldn't recommend this drug to anyone, ever, period. I watched 6 lives destroyed from using... It really does only take one time... If you are curious about how the euphoria feels, go fall in love, or just pop a pill of exctacy or two. Same effect
I found love, no urge to do drugs anymore :
