So I am slowly increasing my Lamictal dosage and am now at 25mg. I noticed myself feeling a bit better on just 12.5mg, not so uncomfortably hypomanic, which I took as a good sign. I've always been extremely sensitive to new medication but I've been having some super strange side effects.

First, I'm having SUPER vivid dreams and I remember all of it. It feels as if I am literally in a movie, and when I wake up I'm confused about what is going on.

Second, I feel super out of it. I don't really know how to describe it but I almost feels like I ate an edible or something. Sort of "body high" but in a weird fuzzy way. And I feel like my head is kind of foggy, and I'm having strange thoughts.

Lastly, (and this is embarrassing) my libido is suddenly through the roof. I have no way to burn off energy (if you know what I mean) and honestly it's starting to interfere with my life. Also having super sexual dreams which ties into my first side effect.

My questions are:

Has anyone else experienced these symptoms?
Do they go away over time?

pls help

P.S I plan on talking to my pdoc and T about this, but I can't see them till after the holidays so for now I am kind of stuck
