I’m so glad you are OK! I’ve been worried.

I don’t take Lamactil or I would comment. It sounds like you have a good pdoc.

The first time I took Zyprexa, I slept for 2 1/2 days (after I was severely distraught due to no sleep for many days, and manic of course). I woke up confused, dizzy, and I nearly fell down the stairs. After a while I got some bearings, and I called the pdoc and they told me to drink something, I was confused and dizzy from dehydration. I don’t think I had eaten anything for days either, and probably didn’t drink enough water and I’m sure I would have wet the bed if I had.

It happened to my (young) mother when she took too much Ativan with her other meds because she couldn’t sleep.

It’s nothing to be ashamed about.
