I'm so glad you've checked in a_c. I was concerned about your well-being.

The first week I took Depakote, many years ago, I wet the bed. Had never happened before or since. Awakening to the realization of a soaked bed was upsetting and even frightening, as I didn't quite know what had happened.

You were surely absolutely exhausted and fell into a collapsing sleep.

Yes, I am on Lamictal. My pdoc had put me on the basic maintenance dose and I found myself very "flat"...I posted about it, long thread- you assisted me greatly. When I couldn't bear the lack of at least some of my hypomanic self I dropped my Lamictal dose down some. Saw my pdoc; she said, Okay. So I'm currently taking just 75 mg./day. So far, so good. Enough "me" to be me, but no irritability/anger/rage.

It's a great thing, liking and trusting your pdoc. Seems to me she made a smart move by prescribing Lamictal for you.

Keep us posted on how it's going with your new med.
