The Reducing the Dosage series is a collection of videos following Kelly Janae's journey as she weans herself off of Lamotrigine, which is a mood stabilizer often prescribed for bipolar disorder. In this episode, KJ laments having to drive home from a friend's house due to overwhelming side effects of not having taken her daily medication, which she forgot to bring with her. Filmed in early April 2019.
"The Reducing the Dosage series is my offering to the world to share a hopeful success story of how we can actually take control over our mental and emotional lives without relying on prescription medication, should that be something a person is interested in doing. I am doing this in support of the world I know we can all live in: A world where expressing our emotions is healthy and supported. A world where medicine is first and foremost a walk in nature, quality nutrition, exercise, and deep relationships with others. A world where everyone can afford health care, and therapy services in particular.
The paradigm of how we think about mental "illness" needs to change, and I know that my "bipolar disorder" is simply an imbalance imposed upon me by the unnatural pressures of modern society to hide our emotions until they boil over and consume us. The medication helped when I reached the end of my rope, but there is no reason why any of us should have to end up there in the first place.
There are natural ways to heal that incorporate art, nature, community, dance, song, and ritual - no RX necessary. I am determined to continually find ways to help myself and others navigate this messy world we have inherited, so that we may discover the highest expression of ourselves and share our gifts to help create a peaceful, just, sustainable reality."
