Most people can tolerate Lamictal but you have tried and tried .. yet you are one of the reasons there is a warning about the med possibly causing drowsy sedation side effects lol

Your Pdoc is daft thinking no one has this side effect. I have a cousin that can’t take a single Tylenol with out it knocking her out for 8 hours. Oh wow have I been jealous of her a lot with my constant struggle with insomnia. But a single Tylenol?? So yes any med can have any effect on a person.

Maybe she should try your psych meds and see if they cause her any difficulty ???? LOLOLOLOLOL!!

A IP Pdoc once wanted to try Depacoke on me and I said you first , he was like wha??? I said I have researched it and spoken to lots of people on it and I have no interest in being a guinea pig for THAT med. so you take it and we can talk tomorrow if you can pick your head up off your pillow. He thought I was hilarious, I was not kidding

You have been on Lamictal long enough to where if it were a temporary side effect it would have passed but now.

I say do what you can right now , she’s outta the country anyway. Deal with her possible reaction when she returns , your not just dropping the entire medication , your just trying to balance things out.
