[QUOTE="Sara PA, post: 45440, member: 1498"] Both my son and my friend who takes it for temporal lobe epilepsy have told me Lamictal can cause inability to sleep for a few hours after taking it. The prescribing information recommendation is that it be taken twice a day for seizure control but can be taken once a day when used as a mood stabilizer unless the patient is also taking carbamazepine (Tegretol), phenytoin, phenobarbital, primidone, rifampin or valproate (Depakote). So, my friend takes his Lamictal as early in the evening as he can and my son took all his first thing in the morning, even when he was on 400 mg (now considered to be twice the recommended dose).
