You have many chqanges going on med wise. Are these the side effects of Lamictal or he result of kicking all those other meds?
You have lot of chemicals in you, some tapering out some building up. You have no way to tell what is causing what. Give things time. Small changes, go slow, things may suck for a while. But Lamictal has been great for me. It has been the best thing I've ever been on, and I've been on many many.
It took two months for my old cocktail to leave my system and for the Lamictal to work. What dose are you taking? 12.5 or 25mgs? At 25mg increases every two weeks it takes time to reach a theraputic dose. 200-400mgs. You have to let it work. You have to let those other meds clear out or stabilize. Give things time. I was in terrible pain waitng for the Lamictal to work but I'm glad I stuck it out. But if its toxic for you, you have to listen to yourself.
