"i took this medicine with lamotragine to treat major depression and speculated bipolar disorder. i think it worked well, it got me out of a bad fog, but it made me so tired. i had to sleep for a tleast 12 hours. if anyone let me, i&#039;d probably sleep for 24. for most of the time i was taking 50mg. then we upped it to 100mg and i was starting to sleep through my alarms, i was being late for work. so i took myself off of it gradually. i didn&#039;t have the money to back to the phsychiatrist. anyhow, i got off of it, it&#039;s been a good 8 or so months. and the depression is back..or at least starting up again. i&#039;m thinking that my only option is to go back on this medicine..but maybe only take 25 mg doses since it makes me so tired. is this a bad idea?"
