Re: Lamotrigine - Insomnia

ACcording to our daughter's neuro, everyone reacts to drugs differently. Could

you shift the dosing time at all? Also, what about supplementing with melatonin?

We also struggle with sleep.

Good luck!

Lamotrigine - Insomnia

Hello all.

I started lamotrigine about 7 weeks ago, and excellent thing is - no seizures

since. However, since I've been on Keppra (since Dec 2010) and even more so now

on lomotrigine - I have insomnia. I wake up for about 2-3 hours every night. I

wondered if this is peculiar to me, or others might have had similar experiences

on Anti-Epileptic Drugs. Any tips of how to mitigate the effects?

Best and thank you,

A
