Hi,
The last few weeks for me have not been too good. I have had really bad anger and depression is starting to pull on me. I am on lamictal and a month ago I increased from 250mg to 300mg. I felt sort of good at 250mg nothing special but an inprovement none the less, and instead of the good feelings disapearing like after the other increases at this dose I felt good for about a month.But I wanted to feel even better so I increased to 300mg, and since about day 3 I have been anxious, angry (which I have always been ((remeron)) and my thoughts have been going around my head like really fast, I feel ever so slightly paranoid like a feeling of being out of place in general life, and its getting worse. I can't walk down the street without thinking I am being judged and that everyone is watching me. Normally I am fine and quite confident with most social interaction even when in the dumps. So the only thing I can put this down to is the increase in lamictal.
Has anyone expereineced this, especially the anxiety part when increasing the lamictal too far? Did it eventually go away? Its been a month and so far its got worse. I think I am going to go back down to at least 275mg, in the hope that my mind will calm down a bit. It could of course be the dreaded poop out which is supposed to be common with lamictal, but I was not paranoid and as anxious before this increase, so I don't really know.
Any thoughts?
Thanks lushkins
