Got the news this morning that my 72-hour EEG came back 'abnormal'...sharp waves coming from the temporal lobe.
What can I expect from Lamictal? We're starting at a low dose 25mg a day, and then gradually increasing it over a period of 8 weeks to 200mg daily? 100mg twice a day, I think? I won't start until Monday though because I have nobody to take me to the pharmacy until then, and I'm not allowed to drive.
My big symptoms now (besides complex partial seizures) are insomnia, severe mood swings (after several nights in a row of tossing and turning), and this relentless day-and-night teeth clenching. I actually tend to sleep better nights when I'm seizuring, too?
I'm worried though...I've been reading about rashes, an increase in mood swings, a worsening of insomnia, and acne? That is one symptom that had improved over the years here...my acne. I was even on long-term antibiotics for it for a while there.
What can I expect though? Does it help with anxiety? I used to be on Klonopin, and I loved it. Is it anything like Klonopin?
