In reply to Lamictal=heavy sleep?, posted by Christ_empowered on August 29, 2011, at 20:35:24
I have problems with sleeping way too much. I have always been a sleepy head. It was worse when I had untreated sleep apnea. It is probably worse in the last 5 years since being heavily medicated. It seems to be way worse when I'm a little depressed, but I don't know if it is necessarily related to Lamictal. I'm on 150mg at breakfast. I think it probably has more to do with my antipsychotic. Until last week I was on 2mg risperdal. Just tapered down to 1.5 about 5 days ago.
Anyhow CE it may just be a combo of your Lamictal and Abilify. Are you still taking 30 Abilify? Plus you take healthy doses of Niacin if I recall. If that is in the afternoon or at bed that may play into it a little as well.
Both of you keep me posted on your progress. I'm kind of a Lamictal cheerleader on Babble despite people trashing it. It saved my life. My goal is monotherapy hopefully. We can all dream right?
peace
