I take my Lamictal in the morning. My doctor told me to. It does not make me sleepy. I have BP2 with major depression. When I would have my hypomania spells, I loved them. I didn't know that was what they were. I thought too, that maybe I was finally feeling like "normal" people feel like. I miss that feeling. I wish there was a med that would take away the depression and let you live with mild mania all the time, but just never changing over to real manic like mania. Without feeling the hypomania anymore, I just feel like crap all the time. The things that you do in one day amazes me! I do good to get up in the morning and try to get a shower and do a load of laundry, and this doesn't happen much anymore. I use to be all over the place and wouldn't sit down until everything I saw that needed to be done, was done. This was me before I got so ill. I would keep to just antidepressants and keep the hypomania, but they weren't working anymore and the other moodstablizers put me in a deeper depression. The doctor thought Lamictal would be best, but I'm only 2.5 weeks into it. I'll have to see.
