> > You said you are off of meds. You aren't on any at all? Sometimes if you stop taking them suddenly you can get something known as akathesia which is a feeling of painful agitation and restlessness. If you want to get off of these medicines because of fear of long term effects (quite a prudent thing to do), you should get off of them slowly.

> Thank you so much. I did get off the Lamictal slowly, I just don't know what to do from here. This morning my brother died. He was 30. He had muscular dystrophy.I feel sad about that... I hope you are handling things alright through the pain. Try to cope and hang on and you will get through, I have been in certain similar situations before.
It is said that it is the darkest right before dawn, if you know what I mean :)
