Hi, sugahorse...feels like your describing me these last few weeks. I've noticed that on the Lamictal I've been having some short but intense depressions, and I'm incredibly clingy lately. Feeling rejected has been part of my whole life at some degree or another. Guess on a practical note - the sleep you get after drinking isn't a "good" sleep, or so I'm told. Maybe try cutting back a little? As for clingy, a practical person would say spend more time doing things you like to do..of course, I'm not terribly practical. The one thing I've found that works is to explain to my husband why I feel clingy and that it is my insecurity. Men seem to need to "fix" things, so when they understand that they just need to be patient, it seems to make it easier to accept that they can't fix this..hope that helps..
