Lamictal Question
| Thu, 11-02-2006 - 7:11am |
Need some personal experience info if you have it. About 7 days ago, I started slowly increasing my Lamictal dosage. It started somewhat around the time change. What I am asking is does more of it make you more tired? I don't know if it's the rx or the time change but when I take it now, within an hour I can barely keep my eyes open.
When I was just on 100 mgs, it didn't do this.
Anyone else? If so, does it correct itself?
Thanks for any help provided!! Kelli

God could not be everywhere, so
Well as mine went
Yep...its the Lamictal. I was always sleepy on it, and it didn't do much for my mood either. But it helps many people. Lithium, at a small dose, only 300 mgs works best for me.
All the stupid meds make me sleepy. Guess that's their intent...to slow us back down.
Dunno, but I do know I can't work if I take ANYTHING in the a.m.
Hugs!

Kelli,
I take 200 mgs. of Lamictal, but I take mine at bedtime. I'm not sure if it makes me sleepy or not. Could you try taking it at night?

Whenever i had a doseage chage i got more tired on it. I took it at night to help. It helped me so much.
