Call your doc today, of course. He may suggest you drop back to 25 for awhile. You never know, it might be the flu, and if you try upping the dose again later (maybe more slowly) you won't have the same problems. I got a rash on my first go-round, then restarted more slowly and had better luck, but I seem to get some benefit from just 25 mg.
> Hi All! I started Lamictal a few weeks ago (added it to current mix of Prozac, Topamax and Neurontin). Felt fine, except for light headaches, until this week when I went up to 50 mg. I thought I had the flu, but it's lasted all week, so I think it's the med.
