I take my lamictal at about 8:30 to 8:45, but it doesn't seem to have any drowsy effects. Before I took myself off of Seroquel I would wait to take it until 9:30 or 10 because I didn't want to be conked out before then.

I also don't take my sleepy meds if I'm out and about until after I get home even though I know you're supposed to keep to a schedule.

Coming off of bad meds or coming onto new ones often make me feel like a drug addict, all shaking and sweating at night. Bleck! Anywho, I had a thought last week and it was: I exist for the meds. I have to take the pills because the bottles must be emptied. It was weird, but now I think that before I take each dose that it's some kind of a mission to eventually consume them all. Kind of like the same concept as (and I'm not a religious person, just a literature allusion here) when Jesus said "Man was not made for the Sabbath, but the Sabbath was made for man." I know I've got it backward, but I can't help thinking I'm here to eat pills. Hahaha! That's freakin' sad I know.
