Insomnia
"Lamictal has controlled my bipolar type 2 which manifests as depression &amp; hypomania. I never have full blown mania. My GYN Dr prescribed  hormone replacement treatment to treat my mood swings. It completely inactivated my Lamictal so it was as if I went off it cold turkey. It was the most horrible experience of my life!  My HR increased to 130, my BP to 160/98, my thoughts raced &amp; then I couldn&#039;t focus or make sense &amp; made serious mistakes. I didn&#039;t sleep &gt;15 hours in 5 days and no sleep the last 48 hrs. Klonopin saved me when 4 meds failed. Just don&#039;t ever drive!! I plan on using Uber!! Hope this helps someone! As w/all meds will need to adjust &amp; figure out how to taper off. I have an amazing Pdoc though &amp; I have strong faith. "
