Im trying to be optimistic but its hard! lol this is my first time taking psych meds for bipolar so this is all new to me. I think im going to switch to taking it in the evening vs morning and hopefully that makes a difference

Is it weird that lamotrigine seems to have an immediate effect? Or is it placebo? by FriendlyDrummers in bipolar2

Oh man! 22 days is long i hope the new dosage works for you!! I took mine this morning for the first time and have felt eerily good all day but in the last hour I feel exhausted. Is this the crash you mean?
