> That's an excellent question, and something that's crossed my mind. My grandmother had a nervous breakdown in her late 20's due to her bi-polar disorder.My concern is that the Lamictal had been masking a mood or anxiety disorder that is now showing itself for the first time as you remove the Lamictal. I doubt it, though. What you describe is probably better explained as a withdrawal syndrome. I remember experiencing much the same thing when I reduced the dosage of Lamictal too quickly.
> I noticed this morning that the anxiousness has lessened a little bit, so hopefully that's a sign that my body is adapting to the lower dose.
That sounds positive.
Good luck.
