> I don't like how I feel, but can't tell if it is because I increased my Effexor from 225 mg. to 300 mg. or if it is the Lamictal or if it is both meds in combination. I feel like I constantly have butterflys in my stomach, my chest feels tight, I feel more aware of my heart beating, very anxiety-like feelings, yet I don't go into a panic. Very strange. Thank you for sharing. :) AnneHi Anne,
Well, I have always been historically very med sensitive.. On lamictal, I got this killer headache with substantial insomnia.. It didn't help with my depression whatsoever.. I understand my reaction was the most common to lamictal... I can't help but think that your reaction is more likely due to the increase in effexor, as the norepinephrine reuptake inhibition is often associated with anxiety..
Best of luck AnneL
