2x a day Lamictal insomnia?!

Maybe I will try taking it 2x a day - 25mg in morning and 25mg at night. I didn't have insomnia when I started with 25mg, but then again, 25mg didn't help much.

I notice a big difference in my ability to be calm and no irritability with 50mg. It took about 3 days - doc said patients usually notice a difference after about a week on 50mg - but I'm a fast and sensitive person with meds.

I know I still have 2 more weeks on 50mg, but I can't imagine going up to 100mg a day! I guess after 2 weeks I will be used to the 50mg and be ready to move up, but right now I think 100mg would make me loopy.

Maybe I will try 25mg in am and 25g right before bed?

I can't believe melatonin doesn't help, usually 3mg of that and I have a hard time getting out of bed in the morning.

I don't have anymore seroquel. I guess if it got bad enough, I could try an ambien.

Maybe splitting the dose will do the trick. I hope so - I need some sleep.

It's weird to feel so relaxed but also not be able to get a good nights sleep.
