In reply to Lamictal sensitivity?, posted by psychobot5000 on June 23, 2006, at 18:07:04
I seem extremely sensitive to lamictal, maybe more than you. I give it credit for lifting me out of deep despair worthlessness hopelessness crying type depression within 3 days. I mean, I don't feel good, I'm a long way from well, but it definitely has lifted me from the depths.
And this is at just 6mg. Yeah, 6mg. But even at 6mg, there is a strange mix of lethargy/somnolence combined with restlessness gut anxiety all at the same time. Bizarre. And leg cramps are horrible. My startle response has increased also...small noises seem louder and startle me.
I tried 12.5mg and it was a very drugged feeling, like maybe taking an overdose of klonopin. 25mg practically had my left leg paralyzed and I was in a stupor.
I'm hoping if I give it a few weeks it will mellow out.
