I spoke to my pharmacist about this problem and my pdoc. I also had/have this problem with the Lamictal. How long have you been on it? I notice it about an hour after I take the Lamictal. The doctor said it should go away with time. That is the contracting of the heart change when the med is telling the contraction differntly. I was told not to worry about. I just take a Klonopan about 30 minutes before the Lamictal and I dont get it anymore!


Everyone is so differnt though. It never hurts to consult your doctor that is what they are there for! Call them right away and get his opinion.


Keep us posted!

I take Remeron for nxiety and sleeping. You would take it at night! Very good for anxiety! It also helps with Depression. It may make you feel tired for the first few days but that does go away.

hey harmone_harriet


Haven't had any trouble on Lamicta But I also take seroquil and klonopin. I did have major side affect's with the Abilify. Abilify can give you involuntary muscle movement's like tic's .I looked like a trotting horse. If not taken care of these can continue even when you go off so I stopped taking it. Now prob not every one gets this but I did.


Good Luck


let us know

I used to take the Lamictal in the morning and noticed the heart racing so I switched and I take it at bed time and I dont notice it at all now and when I wake up in the morning I do not have either! Even my palps are gone!
