I'm on 75mg of Lamictal now. I'm also taking 5mg of Lexapro (I don't see how that could be therapeutic at all) and taking .25mg of xanax as needed. I have noticed that I'm not depressed at all, but in the past week (since I've started taking 75mg of Lamictal) I have been hypomanic at times. Mostly just talking really fast and switching subjects constantly. I've been having some amount of trouble sleeping, even when I'm tired. When I first started Lamictal, it made me very sleepy. It's not energizing, but it is making it hard to sleep. Sometimes I find my heart beating hard in the late evening, I figure it's because the Lamictal is wearing off. I'm just concerned because I've been really anxious sometimes. Sometimes I'm totally fine (like right now) and sometimes I'm a wreck and I have to take xanax. I wonder if I should be on more antidepressant. I think my pdoc just wants me on 5mg of Lexapro right now to get off of it. I wonder if he has something in mind to replace it. I don't think the Lamictal is going to cut it alone. Tomorrow I start taking 100mg, which is where I'm supposed to be. The good thing is that I go in for a re-eval on May 2. So if 100mg doesn't work out, at least I'm going back in soon.
