A member asked:
To psychiatrists: do most patients take lamictal am or pm? my psych said pm but i really don't want to be up all night. starting 25 mg tonight.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
I advise: my patients that they can try it either way because lamictal causes drowsiness in some people and insomnia in others. Take care.
