I'm starting to think that this weirdo reaction stuff I'm experiencing may NOT be withdrawal from Lamictal but rather too high a concentration of Lithium -- I have been bad about my water consumption, it's gone way down, while on Lithium and I think that the dizziness, constant "electric head", shakiness and almost slightly blurred vision at times is due to an inadequate water-Lithium ratio. I'm on a LOW dose of Lithium (I tested toxic at 900mg/day so I'm only on 600mg/day) but still, I must admit, I'm not flushing it out the way one is supposed to.
Katia - if you read this - you had mentioned in response to my earlier Lamictal thread that you were in a "Lithium enduced stupor" -- what do you mean by this? What were you experiencing and what dose of Lith. were you on?
I agree with you that Lithium increases Lamictal or vice versa (I think it's the latter - my pdoc told me but I forget which way it goes).
I haven't restarted Lamictal yet either, because I still have traces of the rash and my pdoc said my body must be totally rash-free before I start all over again with the Lamictal.
Yep, I am SCARED also!
