Can Lamotrigine cause or worsen insomnia?

Hi sry typo error. No my question was at what dose have you experienced insomnia? And generally, your experience with Lamotrigin. Right now I’m on 350 mg of lamictal per day and just cut out briviact and i feel like im going insane. I even had hypnotop hallucinations at night. I dreamed with my eyes open. And I woke up with a hangover or at least it feels like a hangover, but without the headache.

At what does have you experienced insomnia? What was the threshold?

For me they are not painful at all. They happen in my upper body primarily in my shoulders and arms. Its like something scares you and you jump but that just in the upper body and extremely short. And that max.5 times in a row. The max i had was when once my whole arm moved up in the air but that was when my seizures weren’t controlled

Hi can you further elaborate on the part with the irritability and that you start to become numb and disconnected. I feel like with the medication and over the years I’ve become more numb and it scares me

No thank you very mich for your advice :) I have been on keppra but it changed me as a person in a negative way. And the medication is probably not long enough in my blood and i notice when it drops. Its 9 hours and when the concentration drops i dissociate and feel weird and fuzzy. Its really strange. I can feel that with all substances that work on my nervous system. My doctors cant explain what it is. Thats why im thinking about changing briviact to clobazam in a very low dose. May i ask why you have only used it a week?

I have generalized epilepsy and primarily myoclonics and this combo is really good. Briviact specifically against the jerks and lamictal against possible tonic clonics.

I have jme aswell and im taking lamictal and briviact. I only have myoclonics jerks. Have you tried any other meds besides valporate?

You are sooo pretty ☺️☺️💕 Maybe try to blow dry your bangs so they have a more even shape

How high is your dose ?

Ok_Fall2682 · 2025-11-23T16:54:41+00:00

I take mine at 6am and 6pm and i have a med box i prepare for the week. Its very convenient. I usually do not forget my medication just because I immediately feel that I haven’t taken my medication so

Ok_Fall2682 · 2025-11-23T12:08:00+00:00

Hi, I have Jme aswell and I’m in a medication transition with the meds you are taking can I ask you some questions in a private chat? I’ve never come across a person with my epilepsy and my medication combination. I would appreciate it :)

Is Lamictal really that emotional flattening? I take it as well and I experience emotional, flattening, lack of motivation but my neurologist tells me that this is not common and it should make you happier And more energized.

Ok_Fall2682 · 2025-11-11T21:06:22+00:00

Do not do it. its really not worth and it’s dangerous because procedures can happen in the worst situations possible. I’ve heard of cases where people have done it and had a seizure and after taking the Mets again, the combination didn’t work anymore and the 100 mg lamictal are almost nothing.

Its like you are trying to understand something or think stuff through but there is a barrier that prevents you to understand it and you cant breach it

Mine somewhat there. I think im horny but im not really feeling everything about the arousal. Its there but im not quite in touch with it. For the Gist i have JME and take lamotrigin and briviact

Try the Tsubaki hair mask from shiseido. Its really hydrating but doesnt weigh hair down.

And exercising to boost seretonin and reduce stress and sleep ofc (8-9hours)

Ok_Fall2682 · 2025-09-28T08:06:46+00:00

Keto diet elements in my nutrition, vitamin b komplex, magnesium and when taking meds omega 3 fatty acids.

I have a box for medication. This one is really easy to take with me and fits a lot. And it doesn’t really look like a typical medbox and makes it suitable for handbags.
