No no.. actually I'm not having problems... the skin falling off in my mouth has an unknown cause. It could be the wellbutrin, the symbiax, or just some odd "illness". I haven't had any side effects from Lamictal yet.
Wow, I can't believe the side effects can show up so late. I usually get side effects from meds very early, pretty much right away, then they taper off.
My pdoc also warned me to go up on this med very slowly. I'm following the manufacturers sample kit, it has 1 month's worth of pills with daily dosages and such. So, that's faster than what you did. What happens if you go up on this med too quickly? Bad side effects? I have no interest in doing that.. just curious.
Aside from the side effects, did Lamictal help you at all? I'm desperate for some med to work for me. I've had such bad luck so far.
I'm getting really tired of this 2 "ok" days, 1-2 super depressed days. I ping pong like crazy lately. The doc thought Lamictal would help alleviate this. I hope it does, and I really hope I don't get the rashes.
Take care,
