Dear Jon,
I am bipolar 1 and yes I take lamictal
as a mood stabilizer 200mg...at nite.
I also take ambien cr 12mg
these are my only meds.
I take both together about 30 minutes before going to bed...if I try to stay up longer than that I end up sending some really poorly written emails and can't remember what I have written....the ambien can cause real problems for some people....
anyway
I have also taken geodon when needed
to help "bring me down"...but I don't stay on that too long.
I have been on the lamictal now for about 6 months and feel like I am doing well.
I am so sorry that you are not sleeping...
been there done that...awful!
Have you ever tried seroquel?
that can be a great sleep inducer.
