I know there "she" goes again. Hey Cam, can you tell me is it true that in some taking Lamictal they can experience mood swings similar to what one would consider "rapid cycling" brought on by the med.? I know they claim it should help do just the opposite, but lately while I'm in the process of titrating now up to 200mgs. I've been getting more hyper, you know agitate easier, not unless it is the begining of menopause symptoms, or that maybe my husband has been getting on my nerves more than ever, ha!ha! I mentioned it to my doc. he says, "I don't know". Even then I got annoyed, bit my tongue cause I wanted to say "duh, what do you know"? But I did not say anything,the rational me understands that the doc doesn't have a "crystal ball", ha!ha! I'm not expecting you to posess a "mystical crystal ball" either but was just wondering if you have heard of this happening, and also I've been finding that I am up at night similar to the way one is when they have shifted into a manic or hypomanic "mode", I ask myself am I getting hypomanic again or is this a side effect cause I read insomnia can be a side effect but drowsiness can be too, paradox?? I understand you are busy, so is my doc, I'm lucky if he gives me the usual "15 minutes" so who ever gets back with info I'll appreciate, but I know yours is always more exact cause that is more your area I must say Cam, I think you are "tops" in your field I think I speak for everyone hear. Hope life has been treating you well, and good ole bptoo, he's quite a guy
