I AM JUST BEGINNING TO REALIZE HOW ILL I AM. 
Question: I am just beginning to realize how ill I am. Please help. I am recently being diagnosed with BPD and Bi-Polar and extreme catastrophic stresses at 45 years old and started taking Lamictal two weeks ago at 50mg a day and now 100 a day. My life has fallen apart. I have a beautiful wife and six beautiful children and am afraid of being kept away from them forever. My wife is rumored of trying to leave the area in hiding from me forever. I have been barred from my family for the last 10 weeks. Please help me. I was Baker-acted last week overnight and released. I violated my injunction in a panic after a bad dream by calling my wife’s home early one morning and arrested and released. The VA is giving me some care and I am applying for service connected disability. I need qualified help. I am just beginning to realize how ill I am. Dr. Heller’s Answer: If you do indeed have the BPD, in my experience Lamictal won’t do much. I’ve seen many individuals very frantic about their situation like you are. It’s actually criteria 1 of the BPD. I’m totally convinced the BPD is a seizure disorder that responds best to the combination of Prozac with Tegretol, with as needed medication for bad moods. Sometimes individuals facing a relationship breakup need to take antipsychotic medications for a while to get them through the stress. In my experience, Zyprexa is the best, but it can cause massive weight gain. After a while I would usually switch to Abilify, which is much less likely to cause weight gain, but isn’t quite as effective. The out of control anger is very frightening to most women, particularly when children are involved. The profound misinterpretation of reality borderlines experience cause loved ones to lose faith in the individuals with BPD. This is why medication is so crucial to treat this medical problem. Regardless of what happens to your marriage, you need to get treated. Your children will need you, and they need you to be under control and moving forward and positively in your life.
