> > I started on lamictal a few days ago, 25mgs the first week, and then moving up in increments of 25mgs every seven days. Outside of the rash concern, what nuisance side effects can I expect? I am an avid golfer, one of the few pleasures, that I have left. Will lamictal affect my coordination? I am also having a great deal of anxiety now, as well as the depression. I know that lamictal is somewhat stimulating, but will it help to manage the unbearable anxiety? Also what about cognitive side effects? Any feedback appreciated.....Ted
HI Ted
It was the one for me in combination with Topamax 400 mgs., and 500 mgs. Lamicatical You have to stay with it. This is a very slow process. If it was not for noa I would never have made it. Topamax was for the acting out and the highs and the lamictal for the depression. I have had my problems lately the depression has been "Situational" and not "Clinical." If everyone expects life to be wonderful all of the time they will be sadley mistaken. Lifes cicumstances are alway's going to be there to threw ugly road blocks in our way. I just don't want these "road blocks" to make me fall over the cliff. All my best, Lexie
