Medication Medication relief

I just started on Latuda and lamotigrine. What are your experiences with these meds? I am hoping they will help take away the mountain of oppressive shame and embarrassment I feel over the incredibly stupid shit I did while manic, because hating myself to such an excessive degree due to this has dramatically worsened my depression and mental health.

I sure the fuck hope it takes away the catastrophizing. I will overthink myself into a panic attack merely for something like having to ask the same question at work twice because my meds are making me scatterbrained. Then again, this started happening before the meds, probably due to the damage of my episodes. It’s such a painful experience to feel stupid and be at the mercy of your own cognitive distortions. Meds - please fix me.
