The Lamictal is suppose to help me with depression. Once I went up to 200mg I felt great, this was back in December I believe. Ever since I've felt so good I haven't needed much sleep, had tons of energy etc. Now I feel like I'm crashing. I don't have an appt with Pdoc yet. I keep forgetting to schedule one
