How low does your blood pressure go? I have low bp normally. I hear you about drinking water: i should drink a lot more. I put apple juice in it.
One of my kids takes Lamictal for a seizure disorder. I believe it is used for that, for migraines, mood stabilization and some other neuro issues. Is there an alternative medication that you could try? I understand if not: Lamictal was the only one possible for my kid after trying a lot of others.
ps As I remember my kid had to start at a very low dose after having some reactions to the 25mg. They titrated up slowly so that their body could accommodate. Do you think you could start at, say, 5mg (my kid started at 2.5mg as I remember) and increase over time? In consultation with your doctor of course.

Not sure how low my blood pressure is going but it’s normally about 90/40 so I don’t have much room to play around. I bought an at home monitor but it got so tight taking the reading that I had horrible pain. I have fibromyalgia so I can’t take stuff like that. I just bought a regular cuff on Amazon (already have a stethoscope) so I figured I can watch some You Tube videos and figure out how to take it myself.

Thank you so much for your support. I will definitely talk to my doctor about starting on a lower dose of the medication and titrating up very slowly.
