In reply to Increased Lamictal=major irritability? Help!, posted by gardenergirl on September 10, 2006, at 0:50:36
> Hi everyone,
> My pdoc increased my Lamictal from 100 to 125 last week due to a recent depressive episode. Since I started on this dose I've been extremely irritable. Horribly irritable. And I've felt like and have actively indulged this bad mood by saying some negative things to others that I've wanted to say for a long time. Not good. It feels like raging PMS, but I'm certain that is not the cause.

> Can this be due to the Lamictal increase? I have not experienced anything like this sustained horrible bad mood before.
>
> If it's Lamictal, is it likely to subside?
>
> I'm also feeling hypersensitive to noise and visual stimulation, again like I do at times when my blood sugar is low or during PMS. It's probably not a good idea to run screaming from the room while tearing my hair and yelling "Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!" But that's what I feel like doing.
>
> Help! Thanks in advance for any offered.
>
> ggMaybe saying something that has needed to said for a long time isn't such a bad thing?
