I am having a hard time being on lamictal during the day. I find I'm a bit dizzy and tired. I'm not sure if this is psychosomatic?? Just wondering if anyone else takes their lamictal in 2 doses and experiences this? Taking it at night is no issue, but I take it at bedtime, so I go right to sleep.

I have been on Lamectal for years and it has saved my life. I split my doses, 300 a day 150 morning and night. It does not make me tired, in fact I have little to none side effects. My suggestion is to try and wait it out for you to get over any new side efects. It is worth it, it is not time released so I feel better and have always been instructed to take it morning and night. It also has anti depressive properties without being a anti depressant so it really helps when the depression kicks in. I would be lost without it Hope it works as well for you!
