It took until probably 1pm'ish until the sedating effect lifted. I had my meds at around or after 8 yesterday. So that four hour difference might make a difference. Please God, help me through this. I can't miss work like this. I need stability right now more than ever with the move to my mothers and piling bills.

One thing I am concerned about is the Lamictal. There are several scary side effects which I can live with. However, what's the point if it doesn't rid me of the anxiety and panic attacks? I haven't really seen any literature or comments on it helping with those two concerns of mine. Do any of you take it? What is it like for you?
I take lamictal. I take it to help with mood stabilization and to help with depression. I never heard of people taking it for anxiety or panic attacks though, usually people with bipolar take it or or those with epilepsy. I read people with ptsd can be prescribed it, but I wasn't prescribed it for my ptsd.
