Dr. Bowden,
Thank you for your time with Babblers!
I was wondering what type of sucess rates to expect in treating BP1 with lamictal (in combo. therapy? Roughly how often does one expect lamictal to cause hypomania in BP1's? Are there solutions for patients when lamictal renders them unable to sleep?
Also, do you have any feedback on what drugs or personal strategies might be used to combat sleepyness/sluggishness in a.m. (or to increase mental altertness) when using bp meds such as depacote, lithium, seroquel (all taken at night)?
Hope this hasn't already been covered in prentation, but couldn't access.
Thanks & have a good week!
