yes i can not sleep, in fact i sleep only 4 hours and then i dream a lot – in fact fantastic vivid dreams, i can control my anger and it helps me in my depression, but sometimes my muscle acts funny do not know how to explain, sometimes i just a litle hypnotized when i am awake, but i feel major well and satisfied. if i could only sleep more.

yeah i know how you feel. i liked everything about it apart from the sleep thing. trileptal is better for me because of the sleep thing but trileptal has made me put on a little weight and motivation. nothing is perfect. it is annoying.

I was proscribed this is in its generic form and for 1 year it worked perfectly, then they started changing amongst the generic brands and the shit hit the fan. THERE IS A DIFFERENCE AMONGST THE GENERIC BRANDS, i have never tried it as Lamictal

Vivid dreams are an enjoyable temporary side effect of this drug.

I smoked marijuana once when I was in Highschool in 2003 but shortly after I did have one. I have been on Lamictal for 4 years and after adjusting the dosage level I have not had one since July 17 2006. I was first given the original tablet and not the generic, later I was shipped generic but never took it because of the risk. If you ask around some people will say it caused problems to occur with side effects and siezures again. However a friend in Texas had Grand Mal but takes Marijuana 4 it.

pot is a depressant. it doesn’t cause seizures. if anything it would supress them.

you should not smoke pot if you are takin any medication for seizures because it could depress you too much.
