Here it is, 5:45 am. Ahhhh! I know, no one should still be awake at this hour. Or if they are it should be that they've had their night's sleep and they are just getting up. Not me.
My brain and my body are a mass of contradictions. On one hand, I'm sooooo tired, barely dragging myself around. On the other hand, I cannot go to sleep. I know, makes no sense at all. That's what I keep telling myself, but do I listen? Ofcourse not. That brain of mine just keeps on doing whatever it wants to.
One day the body will win this fight and the brain will have to step aside. I'm hoping that once I completely get off this Lamotrigine I will sleep better. It used to be that my complaint was being too tired and sleeping too much with the Tegretol. Well I still take the Tegretol but the Lamotrigine seems to be over powering it. I just want some balance here.
OK. I just re-read this journal entry. I'm sounding looney here. See.......that's what no sleep does.
Back to bed now and see what happens this time. It's now 6:01. Night all! (sort of).

Medicines can do more harm than good. And since it doesn't work the same for everyone, try reducing the dosage or change types. That's why doctor's say, "Let's try this." Best of luck to ya.

Yes Darrell I am going off the lamotrigine. The doc. has a schedule worked out for me. This is the med that seems to be causing the problems with me. I am being weened off it gradually so in 3 or 4 weeks when I'm totally off I'm sure things will level out a bit more.
