In reply to Lamictal once daily, morning or night??, posted by theo on December 2, 2004, at 13:51:11
I've been aking (and gradually increasing the dose of ) Lamictal for a couple of months now.
On the prescription the doctor ( reknown specialist in France ) specifically marked to be taken in the morning.
I take two mood regulators, Lamictal and Rivotril (and Depakine as well, but it's being gradually replaced by the Rivotril) . The Rivotril is at night because it calms the highs more than the lows. I get racing thougts at bedtime which causes terrible insomnia. Lamictal rduces the depressive episodes, maybe that is why he told me to take it in the morning.
Bises,
Claraps, I might just add that according to all that I've been able to find on the net, medecin leaflets, from my docter, the only real side effect of Lamictal is the skin rash, which must be immediately reported to your doctor.
