I take mine in the morning...because it has been making me irritable, but my pdoc says that will go away with time.

Re: Lamictal in a.m. or p.m.??

Hello,

I take all my meds in the morning except for Xanax and sleep meds. I do find the Lamictal energizing, sometimes annoyingly agitating, so I'd never take it at night. But people react different to meds. My pdoc told me that I might try splitting the dosage into morning and mid-afternoon, since I tend to get much more manic as the day goes on.

Maybe others will have different experiences.

Any reason you'd want to take it at night?

Let us know,

Seaturtle

Re: Lamictal in a.m. or p.m.??

janart, lamictal doesn't really hype me up. I take it in the pm. I guess I just do that because sometimes the abilify makes me tired so I take both at the same time. But I guess I do take provigil in the am too. I really haven't noticed lamictal making me neither tired nor wired I guess.
