Sorry if I posted this in the wrong section initially. I forgot about the Drug Question section before now. This is what my post in Bipolar said:

Started lamictal just this morning. Well, it's the generic and I have to take 25mg for 2 weeks before doubling up the dose. Shoot, I just reread the bottle and she wanted me to take it at night. When does everyone else take theirs?

Also, other than looking out for the rash, are there other side effects I should expect?

Thanks in advance.

I wasn't told any particular time of day to take it. I split my doses and took half in the morning and half at night. My PNP was fine with that.

The effect snuck up on me, I realized that I wasn't depressed one day. That was cool!

I can't wait! I so want to be not depressed for more than a few days in a row.

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
