I stopped taking Lamictal and I am experiencing the worst fatigue I have ever had in my life. It is worse than Adderall withdrawal cold turkey. Any idea how long this will last. Maybe I will have to do a more gradual withdrawal. Its strange cuz Ive never had any withdrawal effetcts from a med before, besdies adderall.

that is strange, and just goes to show how individualized responses to meds are.
I've withdrawn from Lamictal 3-4 times cold turkey, with absolutely no effect.
Klonopin on the other hand, almost put me in the hospital.
Strange things these meds are i tell ya

I have been off Lamictal since Friday evening March 24th and Wellbutrin SR for two weeks. I have feeling tired, not depressed. Otherwise I am feeling better. It will be great to find out what I am really like after the medications are completly out of my system.
The worst medication I ever withdrawed off of was Paxil, the intense symptoms (static in the ear, sensitivity to light and sound)lasted a week and took me a year to fully recover from it. I was on that medication for four years. I started on psychatric medication Sept. '96. I have been through symptoms of overmedicated, 100lb weight gain (I did lose the weight-have the streitch marks as a reminder), dystonic drug reaction, hair lose, etc. I hate it when doctors thinks they know what is best for you. I have been through a lot in my 27yrs. Currently, working on my psychology degree, would like to become a metal health advocate. I believe alternate approaches should be used first before medications. I have dealt with trauma due to abuse as a child, and then ontop of that dealing with the psychatric system. If you would like to know how I am doing or what my opionions are please let me know and I will be happy to share them with you.
