My pdoc is probly gonna think I'm a hypochondriac - I've got sores in my mouth .... I think from lamictal, and horrible pain from an injury years ago. It's gotten so bad I can hardly function.
I won't be on the computer much bec. I can't sit here w/o it hurting like H*ll!
Hope everyone is okay....talk later when I feel better!Keep a good thought for me please that my pdoc calls back asap. I'm scared about the lamictal!

I'm sorry you're hurting. I hope some medication changes can help.

I hope you feel better soon, fw.
I've been on lamictal too, it was not a pleasant experience. My T and pdoc (they're best friends) decided together that it might be a good thing for me, but we found out unfortuantely that I react badly to certain medications. I've been on dozens...it's not fun...but I hope you feel better soon and that you'll be able to tell your pdoc and that they can arrange to get you some medication that will be more helpful.

I hope that you get relief quickly, Fairywings. Having a bad reaction to medication is miserable. (Lamictal happens to work well for me - go figure.)
Maybe salt water rinses will help until it's sorted out?

What kind of pain? If you are having severe muscle pain, particularly with twitches, spasms, sweating, other symptoms such as trouble focusing, it might be the meds. I would tell your doctor all your symptoms. I was diagnosed with a sprained rotator cuff and it turned out it was an early sign of serotonin syndrome.

I found that meditating helped my pain a lot. You might check out "The Relaxation Response" for a very simple meditation technique that really works.
