I have flashbacks every once in a while, but mine is due to post traumatic stress disorder, so i have medication to control mine. Have you seen anyone about them? And have you been diagnosed with Psychosis before, because this is not always the case it can be due to many things.

ok i take antipsycotics but last night they came back :s erm yh i think it might be because of it .

I have flashbacks now and then, but mainly because I tend to over think things, and then keep thinking about them. I dont think I have any disorders or issues though.

Yeah, I flashback. Stuff I've done, and stuff that's happened.
Nothing to do with psychosis. Just stress

Yeah, I'm on Lamotrigene for mine.

That's Lamictal right? Is that an off label use? Or is it that your flashbacks are triggered by bouts of depression? Sorry for being nosy, but I've not heard of a specific anti-flashback drug and can't find anything on on Lamotrigene being used for that purpose.

Iits eased a lot of the effects off and reduced the amount of flashbacks i have since i've been on it. Lamictal is another name for it yeah. Sorry mind fuck moment

[Sith Lord 13]

Its not specifically for the flashbacks themselves, but its eased a lot of the effects off since i've been on it.

OK. I was kind of hoping it was an off-label treatment.

I really hated Lamictal. o.O Wasn't as bad as Lithium, that crap sucked, but it was just another addition to my long list of medications... though I didn't use it for flashbacks...

I don't have flashbacks how I seem to define them, but I think a lot about embarrassing or horrible moments in my past to the point that I just end up making myself feel terrible, and most of the time their memories that date back five years plus.
