Going out of my mind....................

Ok... so my eye has been twitching since this past Tuesday and I can't get my Primary care doc or my pdoc to take it seriously. It is constant.. won't stop.. and is worse than the Bipolar stuff going on right now.

I started taking Lamictal for the second time last Monday. It makes perfect sense to me... the twitching started the day after I started the med... but BOTH doctors seem to think that it has nothing to do with it. Can't the stupid people read the prescribing information. It says TWITCHES as a side effect. DUHHHHH!!!! GRRRR.... I feel my only option is going off the med without the pdocs advice.. but then again I know that is a VERY BAD IDEA because I am already in a mixed mood as it is.

Does anyone out there know anything about the twitching while on Lamictal????

Hi, I don't know anything about that drug, but perhaps that side effect will go away with time (who wants to wait though!) It reminds me of the time my DD started on a seizure med. and the Dr. said her drowisness must be from the flu, and not the med. I was so mad at him, as I knew darn well it was the med.! Sometimes, I think Dr.'s don't want to believe there are any side effects!

Hang in there,
