You asked for suggestions. I would build up the Lamictal much slower and in the meantime take a lot of Klonopin. That would be my plan. Lamictal is good stuff once it gets going, but I think it is mostly for depression. I went off everything else I was taking when I started Lamictal.
My life was hell for two months, but it wasn't because the Lamictal was doing anything to me. It was because all my other meds were leaching out of me and the Lamictal hadn't yet reached a theraputic window. I like it more than anything else I've tried. But It takes a good long time to get going. I was hurting for weeks till I found Klonopin.
Finding Klonopin saved me a great dea of pain. But I found it a bit later for than I'd have liked to. I still take it. Lamictal 200mg and Klonopin 5-10mg. You might require more Klonopin judging from the severity of your anxiety. Good luck.
