I didn't know BP could change from II to I, but I know now that it can and does sometimes. Most likely you'll be fine. I was just sharing my experience.

I was II and then I, it is not that uncommon. As Dijmart says, better safe than sorry. You are basically on no medication at all, since 1) your Lamictal is still being titrated up and 2) it is not clear if Lamictal would be all that you will need. So it is a free fall, unmedicated. And what I think you need badly is a prescription for Klonopin (the best out of a class of drugs called "benzodiazepines") to help you sleep. You can also try sex since you have a hubby, sex generally helps sleep, although at your stage of up-ness you can probably pick up cleaning the house straight after sex, that is, sex will not relax you either. So Klonopin. How little you slept would be very disconcerting for any pdoc and he/she will fax a scrip for Klonopin to your pharmacy in no time flat. Good luck! Do not let it unravel.
