No, emotions aren't emergent from intelligence, consider psychopaths, usually very intelligent - but unable to process emotions as most of humanity. Most psychopaths don't know they are until they're diagnosed, and so have no idea they are essentially emulating others. I would still agree that psychopaths are both sentient and concious, despite the emotional area of their brains being turned off.

When I was depressed my friend texted me, 'don't be sad' and that changed my life.

Oops sorry, I meant 3000mg of Levetiracetam (keppra) - they have daft names, it's easy for me to get them mixed up. It's also interesting to me that much like anesthesia, it's known that it works, but not quite how.

It is Lamotrigine! 300mg a day along with 1500mg of lamictal which look like suppositories. Feels like I think slower since taking lamotrigine but when I tried not taking them, seizures.
Maybe your body / brain in this case can become reliant on them? I'm going to look into them more and educate myself from reliable sources.

Recently learned some of my epilepsy medication is more often used for bi-polarism.

Nothing with brains is ever simple, but yes I was vastly over simplifying
