The doctor increased my Lamictal XR dose from 150 to 200 about 2 weeks ago and I've had a continual headache since then and have felt like crying at the drop of a hat as well as having constant mood swings...I thought this drug was also prescribed for preventing mood swings since I've read that it is also used for bipolar depression...seems to be having the opposite effect on me, and I am not bipolar.
I guess I can live with the headache as it is only moderately bad most of the time, but the mood swings have to go...anyone else have the mood swings on an upped dose on Lamictal XR? Did it go away after time? Please tell me this will go away...I have to be able to function day to day and find myself mostly wanting to sit around which isn't like me at all. Thanks for all your help!
