Is Lamictal a stimulant? Can it be a cause of insomnia? I was on 200mg fr 10 years and on my own .. not knowing anything about withdrawal.. a year ago, I decreased to 100mg. I did the w Limittrol having been on fr 30 years. Went from 10mg to 5 mg. I went thru Hellish withdrawal and was never the same person. Had fatigue and tons of anxiety n sleep issues. Do you think that I need to go back on them ... could my body -not even me- just be addicted after so many years. If so, what s the best way to go back on? Titrate 1/2 pill of each.. or go fully back on one at a time? Or just go back completely on both full pills?

Talk to your psychiatrist for a change in medicine, if it is creating problems for you. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Regards.
