Common Questions and Answers about Lamictal in the morning
lamictal
d prefer to take it in the evening/morning that you could take it in the evening/morning. You could, in fact, insist on taking it when it makes sense to you if there isn't a valid reason to do otherwise. This is all voluntary. It is all at your discretion. Sure, you're dealing with an authority figure. You're also dealing with your one and only body, your one and only life. You get to make the decisions about that until you prove yourself incapable.
My doctor has put me on Lamictal 25mg in the morning with my usual morning dose of Efexor 150mg. He has also put me on Zyprexa 5mg to help me sleep, as my sleep has been very broken, and I became very anxious. Will it be difficult to come off Zyprexa as I don't want to be permanently on this ? Any opinions will be greatly appreciated.
Mine started with a fever on the first day. Second day, regardless of the fact that I thought the fever broke in the late morning, my face turned red. As the day progressed the rash started spreading down to my neck. And I still had the fever, dizziness, etc that came along with the fever. Late morning I woke up with the fever still and as I jumped into the shower I noticed that the rash had spread to my entire body. It wasn't itchy, but irritating like a sunburn.
my son is taking 200 mg of lamictal in the morning and 200mg of lamictal in the everning (400mg daily) for seizure control. he has been on lamictal for approximately 3 years and has been a very successful drug. Just recently he went to the family doctor for routine blood work and they called the other day to say his lamictal level was 9.5. They say a normal level is 1 to 4. Should we be concerned about this number? What should we do? Our neurologist is in Colorado and is a 3.5 hour drive.
Yes in general its a very good option with fewer side effects than other common mood stabilizers so it all depends.
I had ringing in my ears from Lamictal but only for the first 4 days that I started it. I'm surprised you got it after taking it for so long. I'm not a dr but I would think your 4 ear infections might be the cause. Maybe another ENT opinion. Did you ask your psyc dr if this is possible after taking Lamictal for 1.5 yrs and then for this to all of a sudden happen?
As for the Prozac that you were on for 15 yrs, if it worked so well, it makes since to me to go back on it.
He took me to the couch about 2 hrs later and I soon fell asleep. I woke up in the morning my stomach hurt I had a fever my muscles ached and still a little shakeup. I cried so hard realizing what had happened there were lamictal pills in my ultram bottle. I cried so hard .. I couldn't stop thinking I could have died . My boyfriend n girlfriend calmed me down as the day went on u calmed down and ached as the day went on.
I did want to add, you said you were taking low doses. In my experience, if a med is not working the dose is raised. The dr only goes up so high before they decide it is not working. If you are going to stay on low doses every time you might not know if the med would have really worked or not. Meds have a therapeutic dose and everyone is different, our bodies respond differently and our tolerances are different.
We started with 25mg and increased over time to 400 mg a day. One 200 in the morning and the other at 3;00 p.m. and my depressioned lessoned. However recently my depressioned worsened, so he added trazedone which I could not tolerate and then we tried Lexapro both made me feel worse so I stopped both after a week. He doesnt recommend me getting off the lamictal. However I would like to get off Lamictal. F.Y.I.
When I get up in the morning, I am confused, tired (exhausted), paranoid, racing thoughts, severe anxiety, naseous (I have lost over 50 pounds in six months (a lot because I can't eat during the day). The loss of appetite is about the same time that I took Geodon. I'm now off of Geodon. The symptoms haven't improved.
I really haven't felt well for about a year. Everytime I talk to him about my problems, he increases my Lamictal.
t bother her after she adjusted to it but the new addition of 125 mg in the morning put her over the top in terms of bad moods, irritation, etc.. Please let me know about you so I can understand the relationship of weight, age and medicine doses. Your keppra doses werent high either, and yet you had a bad response to it. Please fill me in on this. Thanks so much.
Freddie has been building up on lamictal since May and it now on his level of 100mg in the morning and the same in the evening. His seizures have become more frequent since we reached this level (once to twice a week lasting for no more than 40 seconds) and noticeably within an hour or so after taking his morning dose and certainly more prone if taken without enough food in his tummy.
I had that sort of experience with it, too. It could go either way. For me, it faded off as my body got used to it. Though it could also get worse the more Lamictal is in your system. It's one of those things that need to be waited out, but if it gets uncomfortably worse, talk to your doctor.
I was diagnosed a couple of months ago with bipolar disorder type 2 and I experience mixed features. My doctor increased my dose of lamictal two days ago from 100-150mg (100 in the morning and 50 at night). For a time, I've been having trouble restraining myself (but am still able to control myself, it's just hard) when people criticize me or say something about me that I don't like. Now I want to cry when this happens as well.
