I have the usual side effects from Lamictal... insomnia, nausea, upset stomach, headache... but never at the same time. I'll have a few days of insomnia, and a couple days of upset stomach and/or nausea, and a headache for a day or two. Has this happened to anyone else?
Today is a headache day. I'm sitting in the dark with the screen light down low (about to put it away). Sometimes it seems under control, then it starts to hurt a lot again. Hurts to look into bright light (like the overcast day we're having). No, my neck doesn't hurt. It's just a really bad headache.
I read that levels of Lamictal rise during the off week of the BCP. This is probably why I'm having a horrible headache right now. Would it be worth it to cut from 200 to 150 mg until Sunday? I'm trying to figure out tue best way to crush this headache, because I can't function right now. I guess this is what it's like to have a migraine.

I guess I was lucky didn't have the infamous lamictal headache but a strange uncommon side effect that forced me off it. Excess salivation was spitting every 5 seconds into a cup horrible. But the med got to 50mg didn't cause any other side effects for me. Love Phillipa
