When I hit 100mg of the Lamictal I started having unexplained bruising and purple spots. Also started having chest pains. I did get checked out by my primary care doc to make sure she couldn't find anything wrong. Once I backed down to 50mg again I haven't had any problems. Pdoc wants to leave me on that because I did have the beginnings of good effects and add Topamax to it. I don't know anything about Topamax and am not sure how it should or will augment what help I am getting now. I also take 60mg of Ritalin LA for ADHD and 80mg of Inderal LA for migraines. Might stop the Inderal soon as my migraines went away when I stopped taking anti depressants...at least until I went up to 100mg of Lamictal. They started up again but have gone away now that I'm back on 50mg again.
Here's to hoping!!
