In reply to Help!!! Lamictal--headaches, sore throat..., posted by malthus on August 10, 2004, at 9:34:44
> I was increased from 75mgs. of Lamictal to 100mgs. six days ago and have been experiencing bad headaches, slight sore throat and ears that last all day, and night. I can't stand it!! Also have pain behind my eyes that is very uncomfortable. I've taken my temperature and it is normal. I take sub-lingual drops for allergies so know it's not allergies. Please, if anyone knows anything about Lamictal and these symptoms please help!!!
I had the headaches and the slight sore throat. Also a very slight low grade fever. It felt a little fluish and I didn't immediately associate it with the drug. I actually started it twice and I had these initial symptoms both times. The symptoms subsided and everything was fine. I think others have had these symptoms as well.
Your body is probably registering some sort of mild reaction to the drug and if you have concerns or find you're getting worse, head to the doctor. As you may already know, be on the lookout for any sores in your mouth or mucous membranes (in addition to the usual warnings about a sin rash).
