    None of these meds should be stopped abruptly, they should be tapered down.

    The adderall is stopped immediately
    The wellbutrin is going from 450 to 150 to 0
    The lamictal is going from 200 to 100 to 0


    Wait is something bad going to happen or something?

    She said her doctor stopped them all at once simply to prove to her mother that they were working. So now EmoPrincess is going to end up how, without her drugs?

We found it after an accident at swim team one day where I slipped on a kickboard and fell on my head, at the hospital they did an MRI. it was several years ago, 7, and since then I've gotten biannual MRIs to check on it
    Here I meant to say getting off

    Sorry for the confusion!

    Quitting lamictal, as well as wellbutrin abruptly can cause serious suicidal thoughts and ideations, no to mention the less serious side effects.

    I already usually have suicidal thoughts and stuff
    The doctor told me those were side effects of the medicine

    They are a side effect of the meds. That's when the meds should be switched so you don't have these effects.

    I apologize. You had said you were a party, so I guessed there was drinking going on when you bit him and he hit you.

    I'm sorry hun, this doesn't add up.

    I'm not accusing you of storytelling, but suicidal thoughts and ideations are terrible side effects. Not something you can get "used to."

    Okay, also----

    I've been going to this same office since I was 13. I first saw a councilor, who led me to a suicide attempt. Then I saw a therapist (idk if there's a difference between councilor and therapist but their name plates were different) but she didn't work out either. Then I started seeing my current physchiatrist who put me on meds the first appointment. All of these doctors work for the same office

    I'm not sure you should be putting their names or the name of the office on the internet. It might lead to a lawsuit.

    Two of those meds are not usually given to someone under 18. Did he ever explain to you why he prescribed them?

    Why didn't you ask for time alone with him on the 27th? In fact, you are the patient, and your mom should have gotten only a brief amount of time with him. The doctor knows this. Why did he let your mother run the session?
