I have been on lamictal, currently at 400mg, nearly 3 months and have not experienced the sleepiness you are referring to. I also take prozac and remeron and I know remeron has a sedating effect, so it could be that I am sleeping so well with remeron which I take at bedtime that I don't get sleepy during the day.

> I've now been on lamotrigine for almost four weeks. This Tuesday I move up to the 37.5 mg mark for another two weeks. People around me are reporting that I seem much more 'here' and 'present' and vibrant as of late. I personally feel the same waffliness of moods as always. Perhaps not as severe but I just don't know. *sigh of frustration*
