[QUOTE="Sara PA, post: 82456, member: 1498"] Both my son and a friend who takes Lamictal for seizures have said that Lamictal can interfere with sleep for a few hours after taking it. For seizures, the recommendation is that it be taken once a day. My friend needed to take it twice a day to keep the levels as even as possible. As a mood stabilizer, though, the recommendation is for once a day. My son took all his (he was on 400 mg/day for quite a while) when he awoke. He said it helped him out of the sleep fog more quickly. What he didn't want at night was exactly what worked great in the morning. The prescribing information instruction for dosing children are specific to seizure disorders, not bipolar, and recommend split doses. [/QUOTE]
