Hi,
Phillipa can't answer you now. She's been blocked for a week. Probably 5-6 days to go on her block.

I had that experience...it passed eventually. My pdoc sort of dismissed that as an effect of lamictal, but I very much believe that it was. I was really really irritable.

I had the same thing happen when I was taking between 100 mg and 150mg. It was worst at 125 mg for some reason. I was just hugely hugely irritable, and this went away when I changed the dose.

Lamictal made me very angry too, especially when driving.
It also made me spatially retarded - I had hard times reading maps etc. Very weird.

Thank you all for the response.I'm really
torn about what to do I think Lamictal is
a great anti epileptic/mood stabilizer
but it has the strangest side effects I
have ecer seen...
