[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A 25mg starting dose of Lamictal does not cause insomnia. It's not even in her system. It's not like a stimulant that works immediately with a short half life. Lamictal takes weeks to get a good therapeutic level and once on it and tapered takes 10-14 days to leave. Besides the rare side effect of rash (which is basically avoidable starting low and slowly titrating) the huge plus of Lamictal is the lack of side effects. [/quote] +1 This is 100% in her head. Fix the Insomnia first which is probably already triggering her anxiety more. School is coming back up. So the anxiety will start showing up in various forms. And now she's been sleep deprived probably up at night overthinking. Get this poor girl some Clonidine or Hydroxide at bedtime. [/quote]
