Lamictal withdrawal

Posted by Emme_V2 on March 26, 2013, at 20:18:24

Hi. So the minocycline is still helpful, and my doctor and I have decided to see if it will permit me to lower or discontinue Lamictal. Lamictal is relatively clean for me, but I would like to clear up some spaciness and forgetfulness if possible. I suspect even successfully dropping the dose to maybe 50 mg might do the trick. We'll see.

So anyway, I went down from 100 mg to 75 mg, and either I'm getting sick, or this drug causes some withdrawal effects.

- Chills
- Increased anxiety
- Super drowsiness (kind of switching off with the increased overstimulation/anxiety)
- A tiny bit of lightheadedness, maybe from the anxiety
- Occasional hours of extreme thirst
- Tight muscles
- Just feel "off"
- Hard to concentrate

Anyone experience similar? This could be an interesting few months as I try to taper down. Or maybe I'm coming down with something.
