Still trying to figure this all out. I've been on Lamictal now for over a week and feel like a zombie - little excitement, motivation, and feeling. I miss the confidence and sense of humor I had when I wasn't taking it. Is it so bad to feel confident about yourself? When I have high self esteem, I'm much more fun to be around and much more motivated to get things done. But, sometimes I feel guilty because I should esteem others above myself.
