I was tripping and falling while walking with my dog, sometimes alone, no serious injuries but usually I have very good balance and this was starting to worry me. Instead of immediately thinking med side effect, I thought I might have M.S., since I had all of the symptoms listed when I went to read about the disease, since my sister in law was just diagnosed. I said to myself..."that's interesting, she only has one symptom but I have all of them...what's that all about?" So I went for a W/U w a neurologist and luckily the workup was negative. We thought the lamictal could be the cause so it was stopped. I didn't really feel any improvement on it at 200 mg, and there was no way it could have been increased any higher.

I still feel lightheaded at times and now I hold onto the railing when climbing our stairs. I fell two weeks ago down the stairs in our house. I think I was moving too fast, it was a warning sign for me to slow down. Have you ever heard that depressed people are much more accident prone than others? I never thought this before now but since I have fallen about 6 times since last Nov, I believe it. Bad fall last Nov, pre-Lamictal...hit my face, teeth, needing 2 root canals....it has been a BAD year not only with this but other losses in my life.

It has got to get better, so I am on a mission to find a better answer for my depression. I have some free time now d/t unemployment, where when working I was SO stressed, I couldn't do anything, but work, worry and be miserable.
What a life...
