I've been on Seroquel (50 mg) for a couple months to help me sleep while waiting to see a Psych NP.

I finally got in today - after one reschedule. I was supposed to see a lady, but ended up with a fella. I don't like talking to men about anything of substance, so when I got there and found out the change I instantly became anxious. Thankfully, he was really nice, gentle type of guy.

Anyway, after about an hour and a half he told me that Lamictal had my name written all over it. I asked about Lithium, and he said, "That's good. But I think this is better. Let's try Lamictal."

So I'm - what's it called, titrating? (that doesn't sound right) - starting at 25 mg for two weeks, then to 50 mg until my next visit in a month. I'm also staying on the Seroquel.

I've read all kinds of success stories regarding Lamictal, and am hoping to add myself to that list.

QUESTION: Should i expect to feel anything from the starting dose? I'm in a play that is opening soon, and I don't want to ruin it. Please tell me not to worry
