now it all makes perfect sense....all this time I thought I had vertigo...ITS THE DARN LAMICTAL !!!


I'm also having major muscle pain from my hips down...I thought it was my weight...nope ITS THE LAMICTAL !!


I'm so pissed off right now...here I am thinking there is majorly something wrong with me...that I might be forming clots in my legs because of b/c patch....or something else major.

Donna,

WTF? Why didn't we think of that??? Dizziness is the MAIN side affect!!! DUH US!

And 400 mgs is a hefty dose...I only take 200 mgs once a day...that's the norm...

Did you talk to pdoc yet??? Cutting by half is a very good idea...200 works so well for me, and you know how bad my BP gets...

Love you honey!!!

Donna, I'm not sure which is worse for you - the side effects of the lamactil or the fact that it's snowing!!! LOL. I HATE snow and cold weather. Where the heck do you live?????

Anyhows, I'm still dosing up on lamactil and feel really good, except for the itchiness. But funny you should post this today because I was doing yoga last night, and I've been doing yoga for years, and I kept falling out of the balancing poses to the point where I just gave up. PLUS my muscles have been unusally tight, particularly my hamstrings. I'm extremely flexible, can still do splits and backbends, and last night it hurt just to do a forward bend. I guess your post explains it.

Thanks for sharing, and I hope you get plowed out soon. Love, Mo.

Hi Donna,


I am sorry to hear about the Lamictal problem you are having. I never once thought about it, because I have not had that problem. I am even on a higher does that you are. I am glad that your Pdoc is decreasing it. You have been through lots of crap, and miserable

Hi Donna,


I hope you have gotten your meds by now. And you didn't have any mishaps along the way. I am hanging in there. We are fast approaching the date Rick deploys to the desert. They told us yesterday not to expect them being home before 6 months. That was a very

I am glad you figured out what is going on and can hopefully start feeling better sooner rather than later. It never even occurred to me that it might be the meds. Sorry.
