Lamictal question

Posted by NewHampshireGuy on July 15, 2008, at 10:53:43

I have been on Lamictal for about a month now for bipolar NOS.

I am currently at 100mg a day and it is too stimulating. I already have sleep problems and this is making it worse.

It does seem to have have stopped some mania, but not the racing thoughts/sleep problems. I seem to be having other mania symptoms like being hyper sexual/over sexual now

I made me feel more "normal" at 50mg, but I still am as moody and irratable as ever, maybe more now because the med makes me zombie-ish

Should I discontinue do you think? 100mg seemed to make things worse. I am very sensitive to meds and was surprised I could even make it to 100mg

Would stopping now after taking for a month be dangerous? I don't have a Pdoc appointment for 2 weeks. I don't want to wait 2 weeks because I am guessing the longer I am on it, the harder it is too come off

Thoughts on whether I should continue this med or if I should try something else?

Thanks
