Hi Liz,
I felt a lot of anxiety during the increases. I developed this terrible habit of clenching my jaw, which I initially thought was a side effect from the lamictal, but it was a side effect of the anxiety. Fortunately, I've stopped doing it.
The more experience I have with this drug, the more I think it's just one of those things where you have to grit your teeth and get through those first hard weeks. Now that I've been on this dose for a while, I have absolutely no problems. If I wasn't popping the pills, I'd forget that I was on anything.
Not everyone is the same, however, and you might not have the same experience. I hope that it works for you like it has for me. I feel more stable than I have in years.
Let me know how it goes.
Girl
