Hey Sing. I'm glad you decided to take it starting at the weekend. You're totally right - it is very wise to do it over a few days where you don't have much going on.

I'm on Lamictal (lamotrigine) for epilepsy and the first time I took it I think I passed out in like 30 mins (that was at 50 mg/day). Now I'm up to 200 mg/day and it doesn't do that to me anymore. However, during my whole doc visits extravaganza that was me trying to get a Dx - I learned that my seizures are triggered big time by lack of sleep. So I would be having seizures in my sleep and not know it and would be SO tired the next day. This stuff actually allows me to sleep through the night without feeling groggy the next day.

Another thing - it actually made me lose like 10 lbs in the first month or so. I talked to my neuro and he said that is a side effect. So if you were wanting to lose a few lbs - you're in luck! lol

Yet another thing - I don't know if you're a big drinker but....you won't be anymore lol. I used to be able to put at least 6-7 away before even feeling a buzz. Now - give me 3 and I'm out!

Hope it works out for you and keep me posted!
