> > I tried Lamictal for 30 days. Had very vivid nightmares (both of my dogs heads were ripped off in seperate dreams)...Did not ease anxiety, was very good at first but I become stupid...short term memory gone and confused. It was a relief to quit. Havew gone to 1.5 mg Klonopin day. Very agreeabla and better than xanax for gerneral anxiety. Xanax best for wuick acting during panic attacks

> I forgot to mention the nightmares. I would have very violent dreams of death and killing, keep in mind, I've been in one fight in my life! This was bizarre since I'm not a violent person. Also, I felt like I was always sleeping with one eye open. I would wake up feeling energized, but would sleep in a "light" way, if that makes any sense.

>yes - i don't have nightmares but i definately sleep in a light way - i get paranoid while falling asleep, like the place is going to burn down or someone is going to come stab me. this isn't all due to meds but I'm putting together that it all got way worse when my lamictal dose raised to 200 x2 and has subsided or become more controllable now that i've lowered the dose.
