OHHHHHHHHHH yes, I know what you mean.
I took Lamictal for 2 weeks ( I was only on 12 mg's) and went off of it right before a trip to Dinseyland with my family.
It caused horrific social anxiety in me like I've never known. Imagine having social anxiety while you are in the middle of a huge amusement park full of thousands of people. ROFL Not good a combo.
I ended up spending most of my vacation hiding away in the hotel room while my husband hit the parks with my son.
I also had a full blown mother of all panic attacks while we were down there at the beach as well.
It never occurred to me that it was the coming off the Lamictal that caused it ( I forgot it at home) but now it makes so much sense.
We were in California for 5 days and by the the time we got home, I started feeling better.
My husband just thought Mickey terrified me. ROFL
