> I always feel really weak and nauseated. I drink plenty of water and stretch and do all the things I think I should, but I feel really awful for about 2-3 hours afterwards. I never had all this before Lamictal (which is what I am suspecting). Has anyone else had this?

It is probably the combination of the increase in endorphins after your workouts that is enhancing the effects of your medication. I would think that the culprit would be the xanax, and not so much the lamictal. Why don't you try cutting back on the xanax the days you exercise and see what happens.Polarbear
