wild thing...I am hoping that the lamictal will help you. It helps fight depression on the down swing of a mixed episode or mania. Once you are at the therapeutic dose of 200mg a day. just to let you know that there is more play of doses. I am at the highest dose 200mg twice a day.
I take other meds to sleep as you can see in my signature.
I hope you improve things with this new med, glad that you are going slowly up.
love to you
