I have a prescription for Lamictal which I was prescribed to take at night. I was having depressive issues so my pdoc allowed me to double it to 100mg. But taking it at that dose at night along with my original night med of the Trileptal left me with sleep issues. Even when taking my sleep med of Restoril for sleep. On Tuesday night I doubled my restoril to see if that would give me any relief and it did. I felt so refreshed yesterday!

Here's the reason for this post... I emailed my pdoc about a refill for my Trileptal and told her about the sleep issues. She advised that I take my Lamictal in the morning instead to help with sleep problems. This will make me take pretty much everything in the morning. But when I look up side effects (I know that doesn't always mean it's true), dizziness and drowsiness are associated effects. I know some people take Lamictal here. What time of day do you take it?
