Lamictal is good for bipolar patients who experience more depressive episodes than manic episodes. Insomnia though seen in depressive episodes is more common in a manic or hypomanic stage so you may have the wrong medicine. Go see a psychiatrists and not get an internist. in meantime antihistamines such as benadryl is safest as a sedative till you see a doctor.

i would suggest you call your doctor and ask, or perhaps go get a sleeping aid from a walmart or some other place like wallgreens, and check to make sure it doesnt affect the medication your already taking becasue i wouldnt trust anyone online since we have no idea about your medical history
