I've been on Lamictal 200mg for a couple of months and let me tell you, I haven't had a f^@#!&g good night sleep since! I am a 33 y.o. male with Bipolar Disorder (hate that label) and I have a "slight" case of paranoia. The drug has allowed me to refrain from acting out on certain impulses, but not suicidal tendencies. OK... now I do have fully functioning parts (one in particular) which worked fine before this drug (you see where I'm going with this?). It SUCKS!!! Let's just say that there are certain things I'd rather not have happen prematurely (I am not laughing). I do happen to be great in that particular category, yet this strips me of any natural ability to fully indulge in such activities. Uuggghhhh... Give me my mojo back or just shoot me!

I have major problems sleeping on this medicine, even with Klonepin ( a tranquiler). I have been on 25 mg. of lamictal for 8 days. i slept only one night, because i now have Abien. i had to take 3 Ambien to sleep 6 hours. I love lamicatal. Maybe five5 you van take it with Trazadone or Remeron, or Ambien to help with sleep.
