I suffer from bipolar disorder, been on Lamictal for 12 months (used as a mood stabilizer), my dose is 100mgs in the morning.
I have suffered from insomnia for about 16 years, but it was manageable until I started Lamictal, as I mentioned a year ago, now my insomnia is very severe.
I am aware that insomnia is a common side effect of this medication and that side effects most commonly subside within a week to 10 days when starting treatment.
I have researched , and have found articles which indicate that insomnia can affect people long term who are bipolar.
I would like to know if anyone else has experienced what I just described.
Thank you.
