Started Lamictal

Posted by catmint on October 10, 2002, at 1:30:28

Hello,
I began taking 12.5 mg of Lamictal two days ago. I do not presently take any other meds.

I have been so used to my moods, that I don't know how to explain what I am feeling. I feel kind-of mellow, no depression, but somehow I feel like I am watching a movie. Nature is so beautiful when your mood is expansive, and for the past two days, I guess I feel kind-of flat. I know it's too soon to tell quite yet how I will do on this med.

It is definately better than Depakote.

I have been continuing to run.My energy level is good. The endorphins have not been as intense.

Last night, and I am assuming it's because I was coming off, I became extremely irritable and almost fell into a crying spell. This morning, I awoke a little depressed, and lashed out slightly at my son for dawdling. As soon as I took the 12.5 mg , within half an hour my mood was considerably improved.

Even thought it has only been 2 days since I began Lamictal, I am hopeful that this is the best drug for me. Other side effects include headache, a little flu-like symptoms and drowsiness.

Any response is appreciated. Thank you all,

Amy
