I'm Bipolar II and I started taking lamictal a few weeks ago. I noticed that I was feeling better during the day and had more energy but I stopped taking it because the side effects(no concentration what so ever, blurred vision, shortness of breath, etc) were overwhelming. My psychiatrist gave me seroquel yesterday. I took a low dosage last night and I had a hard time getting up this morning and I've been tired all day. But I'm guessing this is normal because I was told it would make me sleepy. What I'm asking is, did anyone else take lamictal and have a similar experience? and if so, did any drugs help in the way that lamictal did without the side effects? I know there's no perfect drug out there, but hey, I can dream, right?
