I must have a really bad case of mania or hypomania because I'm on 300mg and still hyper as can be. Waking before 5 am, going to sleep at midnight (and this on Abilify, Risperidone, and Temazepam). I have tons of energy and racing thoughts, etc.

Don't wish for anyone to feel down. So sorry you're going through this. Maybe one of your other drugs is doing this, but if you're only on Lamictal, it may not be the right drug for you if you're feeling down. Then again, 200mg is the lowest therapeutic dose, so it may take a couple more weeks to feel good on it.

Just a thought. Mellowness...hmm...reminds me of something Amazon mom said...that she felt "dumb as a rock" on it. She got the Lamictal rash, but don't be paranoid about it unless it actually does happen. Then go to a hospital. Take care of yourself only, okay?
