Aims, I don't really know much about Lamictal, but I can go look stuff up. Gimme a little bit, though.

I could remember at bedtime. Is it better to take at night?

It can make a person very drowsy. So yeah, but there are people who use it for seizure disorders who take it three times a day. It won't kill you, but since you probably don't know yet how much it makes you sleepy, today is not a good day to take the urge to drive to Montana.

Is it ever?

Speaking of driving to Montana, how unlucky is this? My friend has been living in Alaska the past few years seasonally (works at some resort or other). She finally decided to have her car brought up and spent about a grand fixing it up, then probably close to that on gas and expenses for her father to drive it up from Wisconsin.

45 minutes from where she lives, he skidded off the road and rolled the car three times, totalling it.

[Note he was not injured beyond expected bruisiness. Which is why it falls on the frustrating as hell side rather than worse, now that the initial scary has passed.]

t turns car around

wow brenda. I'm glad he is okay.

crap.

Yeah, he's totally fine or I wouldn't tell the story that way. But given that, they've moved on to the gnashing of teeth about the several days of driving, sunk costs that will pretty much eat up most of what she gets from insurance, and you know, still no car.

the orders on the Lamictal say to take it with dinner. But ... I forget. I forgot yesterday. Can I take it with breakfast instead?

Aims, I take my Lamictal in the morning. That's what my doctor prescribed. But I also take clonazepam before bed, because the Lamictal gives really vivid dreams that make sleep not restful. The clonazepam is a time-released anti-anxiety med and I've been doing very well on the combination. My shrink says this is the way he treats all his bipolar patients.

As to the home decorators who like the bamboo flooring, what kind of padding goes underneath? My condo association insists on wall-to-wall carpet for sound abatement and I really would like to switch over eventually.

Aims, I'm glad you got the meds you need.

Okay, I went and got my brake tag, filled up on gas, put air in my tires, deposited my paycheck at the bank, done the breakfast dishes and walked the dog. I've eaten lunch. Want to get a few more things done before I go to the vet.

As to the home decorators who like the bamboo flooring, what kind of padding goes underneath?

It usually goes over a thin foam underlay. Maybe they can use a thicker one? It seems as quiet to me as carpet, except that carpet is more of a thud and things like dog claws on bamboo make clicking noises.

My client seems as confident in me as ever, but it's going to be eight interviews and photoshoots over the next six weeks, so the main question is my physically being able to do it.
