Tiredness from Lamictal

is anyone else super tired from lamictal? i haven’t worked up to a therapeutic dose yet so the meds probably aren’t the reason. but once i went from 25 to 50 i stared sleeping ALL day, like 12-16 hours every night. It’s also been really hard to wake up lately

Can you help? connect today

I am on lamictal and I am tired all the time. I also have insomnia so I fight sleep and its literally getting to me. I dont know how much more I can take. I can hardly function. Im on 150mg once a day.

i also have pretty severe insomnia and nothing really helps. any meds i’ve tried either just don’t work or make me sleep for way too long

I take 400 mg of lamictal (I know) and I would feel tired about a month after each increase and then it would even out. One thing that helped me was drinking a lot of water.
