I cut my Klonopin from a 0.5mg tab to 3/4th of the tab for 3 nights. My extreme daytiime fatigue went away and my mood felt normal for 2 days, for the first time I can remember in probably a few years. I still had some strange word subsitutions, but much less. Then last night I did the same, slept poorly, and am now tired but wired again. Now more tired and they are back again.

Has anyone had these words substitutions with lamictal?? I have them speaking and typing. I even have them thinking sometimes. The alternative words are always loosly relatated to the words I intended (I left those misspellings in as examples, again I am excellent at typing and don't usually do this). Examples: saying "tonight" instead of "today" in a really inappropriate context, and a really weird one, "bridge" instead of "crosswalk." I can usually control it or immediately correct it if I concentrate hard, but it's exhausting.

My Pdoc thought that these were lamictal symptoms as they started as I increased from 100mg to 125mg, but that they might go away with time (though probably not going to increase lamictal any more and may add another med or try something else).

My Tdoc says she frequently sees this kind of things in people coming down off of mania. I know my dad (who is not diagnosed but I'm sure is somewhere on the spectrum), has a history of doing this a ton when he is "tired" which I think is a comedown from hypomania for him. So maybe that's it?

Please if anyone else has had this experience either with lamictal or with coming off of mania/hypomania, let me know. it's starting to freak me out and I don't see my Pdoc till late next week to see if I go back to 100mg Lamictal or move to something else.
