Nightmares on Lamotrogine: Anyone Else?

I take Trazodone at night for the racing thoughts and nightmares that wake me. It helps a lot, my nightmares aren’t as often, but I’m still up several times a night

Thank you all so much!!!

yes! they go away! it took about 2 weeks for me. i've been on lamictal for a long time and the benefits definitely outweigh the downsides. talk to your doctor and see if they can't prescribe you something for them in the interim, or if you can't do something meditative at night to reduce their frequency

Omg same for me I’m in the middle of a hupomanic episode was taken off vraylar on a very low dose of lamotrigine. The nightmare I had last night felt like it was on acid In the past minipress has worked for me too (I have PTSD also) so I’m going back to that

Yes I have too, and they put me on minipress nightly. That helps a lot for me. Please tell your doctor right away. They can help. Be careful about which meds you stop because some may have harmful effects if you cut cold turkey without tapering off slowly :)
