In reply to Upped Lamictal--vibration feeling side effect?, posted by gardenergirl on February 12, 2006, at 21:55:21

> And there's this other new thing that's kind of weird and a little embarrassing. Last night while sitting in the office chair, it felt like the floor was slightly vibrating up through the chair into my rear end. I thought I was just feeling the floor vibrate while the furnace was running, since our furnace has a bad bearing and is quite loud at times. But when I went to bed last night, I could still feel a very mild vibration in my butt. Weird. It's not annoying or even all that noticeable when my mind is focused on other things. But it's definitely new.

Could the floor have really been vibrating? If so, it wouldn't be that unusual for the sensation to continue long after the exposure to the vibrating.Also, I've attributed symptoms to meds that turned out to be wrong. I told my doc that I got way too sedate on 25 mg of Lamictal. I now take 300 mg of Lamictal.
The best thing to do, according to my neuro., is to drop the dose of a med down some, until the side effects go away, then raise the dose again and see if the side effects return. Failing to "rechallenge" a med can cause one to stop a med that could be very beneficial.
