As I was working yesterday ( I work from home) I had this overwhelming desire to just lay down. I was on the couch for 2-3 minutes. Afterwards had a headache. Anybody else ever expierence this? Could it be a partial? Migraine? The headache did'nt last long and Tylenol took care of it. Lamictal? Just started a new dose of 75mg twice a day yesterday.
 
The last time i had a complex partial i had an overwhelming urge to sit down just before the seizure began...
 
Whenever there's a dosage change made in the meds, "things" happen as the brain and body react and try to adjust. So I would suspect the Lamictal increase. (And there is something called the "Lamictal Headache"). It should go away over the next few weeks as you adjust to the increase, but if it doesn't, or if it gets worse, let your neuro know.
