I haven't had the headaches, but I have been very tired in the morning. What time of day do you take the medication? Also, are you taking this with anything else? I am currently on 450 mg of effexor and my doctor is introducing lamictal with the hope of weaning me off the effexor. If you are taking only lamictal do you find it working for you? At what dose? I just started 75mg on a schedule similar to yours.
