> I was doing great on 25mg of Lamictal and then titrated up to my present 50mg. Yuck, irritability, anxiety, fear and body tension. I will drop back down slowly. Thank God for this forum and the knowledge we share. - BarbaraCat
Hi Barbara,
Tricky business trying to find the right 'window'
for this med ain't it?!
I find a benzo. (diazepam) very helpful when I increase the lamictal dose, then I reduce it (benzo) when things settle down.
I suffer with chronic muscle pain/body ache too (not fibromyalgia, just depression related) and plan to add some neurontin when I hit 50mg Lamictal.May help my anxiety too.Keep well,
Col.
