Lamictal is a slow medication to work since it has to be titrated up slowly. start out usaually 25mg and then increased 50 mg every 2 weeks. ( so its not a quick fix) I am on 150mg , it works for me , I know many people are on 300-400 mg , it just varies. If you are full of energy viibryd is likely the one doing so. Racing mind is never a fun thing it will exhaust you further.

Psych medications are also used as cross over meds, meaning many times People are put on atypical meds. Most Pdoc aren't quick to toss out the label of Bipolar , which is a good thing.

Lack of sleep regardless of the reason is a huge factor in feeling well.

Keep in touch with your Pdoc and make sure he/she is aware of your insomnia issues.
