I've only taken 2doses(25mg each) of lamictal but I'm noticing that I don't really feel sad but I'm not manic either. At work yesterday everybody said I seemed leveled out. Usually I talk like crazy but I was a lot quiter last nite. I did my job well because I didn't get distracted by my thoughts. My brain is quiet for once and its very nice. Only 1 problem: I'm only allowed 1 clonazepam a day&I take it in the afternoon when my anxiety peaks. But I still have the general anxiety I feel everyday. I'm gonna wait a couple weeks&see if it dissipates.
I also wake up very early&can't fall back asleep. And I notice I walk around the house sometimes for no reason. Maybe it will go away though. Anybody else taking lamictal feel this way?

ask your Doc if you can take 2 clonazepam's a day, it shouldn't be a big deal & if you can take one at night maybe it'll help you through the night?

What is the clonazepam? It goes all the way down to .25mg, which is what I started on. When that didn't help, I got a double dose. Maybe take half a tablet 2x a day?
Give the new meds a good few days before they really kick in too.
Lamictal is a mood stabiliser - I'm on Epilim, and I had to again wait about 3 weeks until it was fully effective. i do still suffer from sever anxiety though
