Pink...I'm on Lamictal also and in the beginning it did make me tired. But on top of that you have a lot on your plate right now. Also how long have you been on Lamictal? My Pdoc said it took at least 6 weeks for full benefits. Its slow to work. I am on 300mg and I believe the therapeutic dosage is 200mg. But if 50mg works...more power to you!

I have an enormous amount of energy in the mornings until around 2:30- 3:00pm when I crash for the day. It is difficult because my evening plans are often cancelled due to being so tired I can't get out of bed. is this rapid cycling? I don't know. I forgot to ask Pdoc.

Have you heard of a bipolar term called a ' mixed state'? Its when a person is depressed and hypomanic or manic at the same time. Do you think you may be in a mixed state? Perhaps talk to your therapist or Pdoc for sure.
