<font color="#000088"> Hey there -
Hope all is doing well as it can... in our conditions that is!!!
Just wanted to respond to you bcuz I too was just put on Lamictal, I really don't know the day bcuz my meds are ALL locked up (when I go manic, NOTHING is safe), and also had a little 'experience' w/Lunesta.

I hate to trash that med, all bcuz it is good for some but NOT good for another, so with that said, the Lunesta <MIGHT> be the issue.

All I remember was their commercial on TV regarding devoting 8 hours of un-interrupted sleep, etc. and I just laughed and laughed. It was a total joke, I was MORE anxious than calm, and the med did absolutely nothing for me.

Again, I emphasize that this was MY experience, quite similar to yours, which in my opinion, is not a med for you. Afterall, it is a NEW MEDICATION and all the 'quirks' haven't been worked out on us guinea pigs yet!!!

If I may ask, what other meds do u take? Here's my laundry list:
Depakote ER, 500MG, 3X/night;
Seroquel, 200MG, 1X/night;
Paxil, 30MG, 2X/day & night;
Xanax, 1MG, 4X/day (w/2 allowed @ night)
Lamictal, 50MG, still on the 'starter pack'.

That's just the psych. meds and i'm sure you're not interested in the rest. If I were to save all these, I literally could open my own pharmacy!!! Sad, but true.

Anywho - if you want & are comfortable, list the other meds as well as whatever else you want.. That's what we are here for!!
