Your doctor replaced Depakote with Lamictal for anxiety issues?
If so, be ready. Lamictal made me more anxious then I was without meds, and increased OCD symptoms 3 fold.
Lamictal is for BP depression and does nothing for anxiety. After this experience I really got a little pissed that pdocs are giving out Lamictal for lighter issues than true bipolar, especially with the deadly rash issue.
I wish you the best but at the first sign of side effects from Lamictal, I would suggest not wasting months titrating like I did, only hoping it would get better.
