> I'm terrible in the afternoons Also. I always blamed it on my lamictal but now I think that might be b*llsh*t.
For me its hard to tell what my "real" moods are throughout the day because of the meds I take.
Presently mornings are great. I wake up early, I'm feeling my Ritalin and caffeine and can get things done.
Midday/early eve kinda stinks cause my Ritalin is wearing off and I'm craving alcohol.
Late eve/nighttime is cool cause I can justify happy hour and look forward to a restful night sleep (thanks klonopin and Zyprexa)
Not a recipe for success by any means but its getting me by (barely).
I recently took a break from ALL meds and alcohol. During that period, mornings were horrible. I'd wake up scared and drenched in sweat. I didn't want to get out of bed. Midday was not any better and eve/nighttime was best because I knew nothing would be expected of me from family/work whatever, and I could just chill. I also stayed up wayyyy to late. Probably a product of my insomnia.
I've recently asked my pdoc to consider Lamictal for me. I think he will prescribe it the next time I see him. Do you do well on this med? May I ask why you take it?
> Sometimes it becomes frantic and depressed and then just SNAPS away and I'm happy and hyper around 6 or 7.
Sounds a little bi-polarish to me but I'm NO expert.
