Hi Everyone,

I'm stepping up on Lamictal....I've been taking 25 MG for two weeks.
Over the last week I've been aggressive when stressed, full of energy and completing task like ironing (which I hate and haven't done in 4-5 months).
One morning I took my daughter to school and had on my pj shirt. I planned to go directly back home. Well I got a burst of energy and went to two stores to ask abt boxes (I'm in the process of moving). I will get a burst of energy and clean out a dresser draw. I've sorted through all my need to shred mail. This pass week I was able to fall a sleep with no problem but I would wake up at 2 AM not able to get back to sleep.


I think Lamictal is working a little for me or I'm manic. I've been going laundry, packing, iron and running errands. Since winter i have not had energy or motivation to do numerous things or basic simple things. I was prescribed Lamictal to help with depression.
