My doc thinks if I try to titrate REALLY slowly we may avoid those S/E's....so he has left me at 50 MG of Lamictal for a month but wants to get me to 200mg...he stills believes that is best for most, if I can ever get there! I may be older and greyer by then ;o)...but he also added Wellbutrin today....so we will see...I am hoping for the best..just like both of you...however, last time I tried Wellbutrin it made me sleepy!!....I am just like you Cindy with weird reactions to meds...I will let you know how goes it...
> take care
> MagsHi Mags,
just thought I'd let you know that I got very tired on Wellbutrin and that's the complete opposite to 95% of Wellbutrin-related posts I've seen. I was falling asleep at 9p.m. and having to wear shades to watch telly my eyes were so light-sensitive.
The good news is that after 3 weeks or so on WB the tiredness has gone. I don't know how long you tried it before so this may not be relevant.
Anyway, best wishes for your Lamictal journey,pete
