In reply to (new) Topamax Lamictal dosing / tired in am, posted by ellen2 on August 27, 2004, at 13:13:33
Hi -
What time of day do you take Topamax or Lamictal?
I may switch from 100mg/am & pm to another schedule. What works for others with either of these?Thanks!
Ellen> I'm new to this. I'm on Topamax & Lamictal together, among other things (WB & Lexapro). I have been on each separately in the past, but am more stable on both Top. & Lam. together. My dx is BP II.
