> Although I have been somewhat surprised to see this, people are beginning to take Lamictal only once a day in the evening.Now that you mention this, I think my pdoc said to take it all at night if it made me sleepy.

> Ah. Difficult to guess which is which. When did you make the dosage change? Did you experience heart palpitations, increased heart rate, heat intolerance, or anxiety before lowering the T3? How about now? Fatigue and cold intolerance? Muscle aches?I initially took myself to 100 mg Synthroid for about a week before he called in a prescription for 75 mg after (FINALLY!) reading and reacting to my lab results. I actually had to call them, even though the T3 and TSH numbers were way out of line. Imagine! I was having a lot of heat intolerance, but I didn't really notice any other symptoms, which was surprising. Now I feel sluggish, I bounce back and forth between being overly warm and being cold but then again it's 90+ outside, and air conditioner can feel chilly to me at times. Some muscle aches, but I can attribute them to overuse and/or I think I also developed plantar fasciitis in the same foot I broke my toe in. :(

Thanks for your input. I am hoping Lamictal works well for me, too. I'm not quite ready to drop to 45 mg Nardil, but hopefully in a couple of weeks.gg
