Hi Greenfins,
I've tried many many mood stabilizers but this one is a winner for me. Loving the lamatrogine.
Been on it since September since the one student allegation. I just ... Fell apart!
I started on 25mg and I increase it by 25mg per week. I'm currently on 225mg a week - tritating up to 300mg.
I'm still having sleep disturbances at night. I keep waking up. Pdoc wasn't sure if it was because I was taking the lamatrogine at night, because for select some, it can interfere with sleep, but I also think a lot has to do with my general anxiety and the fact that i don't have a job now.
So I've been experimenting with either taking half the dose at night and half the dose in the morning. That didn't really help. Recently I've tried the lamatrogine just in the morning. But I still wake up at night. Which is why I am thinking that it's not the lamatrogine that was causing the night time waking, it's the anxiety and future job prospects that I'm worried about.
