> > 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
I'm an avid golfer too. I'm taking Lamictal 300mg
currently, and I am not experiencing any side
effects. It has done a good job of stabilizing
my mood and relieving me of some pain.When I would start the med or bump the dose,
sometimes I would become clumsy (lack of motor
skills) and have trouble with my speech. But
those effects for me usually went away in a day
or 2.
