Hi,
For 2 years I've been on Nardil, lamictal, and nortriptyline, and I had a lot of energy, even the tiniest bit hypomanic, which was in general a good thing. Recently I got a job and I was a little afraid of being overly talkative or animated, so my pdoc had me increase my lamictal from 200 to 250. Six days later I started feeling extremely tired and drowsy. That has been in the past few days. Today I started feeling slightly nauseated. My eyes have felt heavy and I've needed a lot more sleep than usual.
I'm really worried because I'm starting my job soon and need a lot of energy.
Has anyone here experienced drowsiness from increasing their dosage of lamictal? If it is from the lamictal I'd gladly go back to the old dosage and get my energy back, even if it means returning to slight hypomania.
Thanks so much.
CB
