I found out today (after taking it for a week) that the Lamictal is meant to be dissolved in the mouth. It tasted sweet just prior to me swallowing it. I've been taking it for six days now and just noticed that.

I felt mostly fine today. The time frame in which I normally have the weak spell passed without incident. I did feel a little lethargic, but I'm chalking that up to blood sugar changes since I'd just eaten. It's worth noting that I've eaten well today and slept well last night (nearly nine hours). Maybe that's helped.

I've read a lot of bad reviews about Lamictal side effects online, and how they can cause mania. I hope this is not the case (as this is what it was prescribed to combat), but time will tell. I'm willing to give it a shot. I haven't had any side effects thus far, but it's probably too soon to tell. My next psych appointment is in about a month, so I'll keep you posted.
