My psychiatric nurse practitioner started me on Lamictil about 5 weeks ago for general anxiety disorder (GAD). We started with a starter sampler kit which had me taking 50 mg in the morning for two weeks, and for the last three weeks I've been taking 50 mg morning and evening.
For the past two weeks, I've been experiencing a light burning sensation in my wrists, forearms, shins and ankles.
Also, the skin on my palms gets tight and red. I have asthma, and my need for an atomizer has increased from once every few months to once or twice a day.
I'm also experiencing tight jaw, tense facial muscles, overall muscle tension, stomach tension, and feelings of anxiety (which is what I'm taking the drug to get rid of).
Has anyone else experienced these symptoms, and if so, what happened?
Thanks!
Jim T.
