i stopped taking the zyprexa, only once in a while will i take it, but it makes me not talk vary much, i am like blunted, just walk around too calm, so i stopped that scheduel, and am taking the lamictal at night......it's a bipolar dose, but im taking it to slow and stablize before bed......i have noticed lamotragine will pull me out of a depression phase caused by alcohol too....i drank many times with a horrible depression following in the next hours, it pulls me out, but i don't get euphoric, it just.....i guess explain it make it at baseline, not depressed but not peppy.....just in between.....
ill have to stick with this med, even though i really think i need to be on something else, but lamotragine does provide a feeling of stability a little....other people it has bad reactions, rash, psychiatric disturbance, i got lucky and it does stabilize the mood but i take it at night, if the day is hell lamictal does seem to stablize a bit....

In reply to lamictal at night, posted by rjlockhart37 on April 20, 2015, at 1:11:10
it's been 3 days now, i took one a couple days ago but im starting to notice my personality is coming back.....not like i don't have one, but i feel more alive, zyprexa is good for agitation with disturbed thoughts, and i havent had them lately and taking it over the years it caused me to become slower.....gained tons of weight....
but, like i said im gonna use it as a prn medication, im more alert, more witty in a conversation, it just makes me....slower and kinda spaced out, like things don't bother me because it makes me passive.......
lamictal is now used either in the morning or night......the main ones i've had trouble with are prozac and the nuvigil, they seem to be resistant, but i have had strong faith, to remove the sickness and disorder over myself, just believe in jesus christ, writing to him every night, with prayers and repenting of my sins.....thats just my private faith i have trying to get healed, and be free of sin
until then in a way im glad i've stopped it, i have noticed a big change in my personality, im not passive and spacey.....but yea....i use it as a PRN when needed because it knocks me out at night
hopefully things will change for the better too.....
