Icalled my pdoc and she said this is normal and to start taking it before I go to bed. Please only positive feedback. I'm a worry wart and a hypochondriac and anything negative I will just feed into. Success stories, encouragement for this new diagnosis. It's been a very rough six months and I just want to feel better. I'm happy I started seeing a psychiatrist.

Hello! I've just recently had a bipolar diagnosis and been started on lamotrigine too. Currently at 100mg after 6 weeks and honestly don't feel much different... if maybe only a
tiny bit emotionally numbed. When I say tiny, I mean really tiny... Hoping it gets better );
Well done so much for finally seeing a psychiatrist!! It's so scary and a huge step, you should be really proud.
Maybe you're getting fatigued symptoms from a placebo effect if you identify as a real worry wart? I'm a worrier too, and I know as soon as I start a new med I can make up all sorts of symptoms that I relate to the medication! Just a thought!
I look forward to hearing about your success, we can fight it!
