I think anticonvulsants as a class do this. When I started Keppra this happened, I dropped in dose for a while then increased with no problem. Same thing happened with Topamax which I discontinued because of in addition it gave me a upper respiratory infection. Now I'm on a small doseof Keppra and a small does of Lamictal (100mg) and am doing fine.
When I started Lamictal and during dose increases, I would feel like I was coming down with a sore throat for a few days, but my body would adjust and it would eventually go away.
I would go ahead and try Lamictal, but don't be disappointed if you feel good for a few days after a dose increase and it fades away.
