I got activated on Lamictal in a very unpleasant way that felt a lot like anxiety. That and some other stressors in my life led to my first full-fledged panic attack. This was a couple of days after increasing my dose to 50 mg. A couple of caveats, though: I've reacted oddly to a number of medications, and I'm medication sensitive in that I seem only to be able to tolerate low doses of most drugs.
