I started on Lamicatal two months ago, for my simple/partial seizures. Gradually increasing dosage, now on 200 mg.
For the past 4 days I have had tingling and numbness in my left arm, like maybe I slept too long on that arm and it "fell asleep". But it has not gone away. Today the numbness is worse. Emailed to my neurologist yesterday and regular doctor today and have not had a reply. Documents on Lamictal do not show this as a side effect.
Any comments?
 
I had some very minor tingling and numbness (in my legs) when I first went on Lamictal. That side effect went away eventually.
