Hi,
My tonic clonic seizures have been well controlled with Lamictal for the past several years - as in no episodes for about 5 years. Then out of the blue I have 2 in one day. So we up the Lamictal from 400mg to 600mg/ day. My Neuro said that it might be overkill, and that I may feel lousy, and if that's the case, we could drop down to 500mg/ day.
Needless to say, I went through a week of 600mg/ day in a haze, and we just cut me down to 500. Now I feel a lot better, especially compared to 600, but compared to 400, I'm still not the same. I've always been an optimistic and happy person, but now I'm more angry and sad. I still have plenty of happy left, but it's not really fair to my wife and kids.
Has anyone else had this happen to them?
Thanks!
