Holymama,
I'm glad that you were persistent with your pdoc and worked things out for the dosing. Sometimes, you have to be persistent to get the best care!
I am LOVING the lamictal. When I was working up to a therapeutic level, I was feeling kind of anxious and weird. Once I got to where I needed to be, everything evened out for a while. Last week, I started feeling hypomanic again and only took 200 mg for 2 days. That calmed me right down.
Like you, I find hypomania very thrilling. After a few days, though, the irritability sets in and I don't even want to hear my own voice anymore. I wear myself out running around, talking, and focusing on the most minute details.
At any rate, I am now taking 200 mg of Lamictal and I feel better than I have in months.
Best of luck to you :)
Girl
