I recently increased my Lamictal from 50 mg to 75 mg and am experiencing extreme rage reactions. They come from out of nowhere. This is NOT normal for me. There is no other drug to attribute this to. It is so severe I am considering an abrupt discontinuance from Lamictal.
I have had a hard time reaching a therapeutic dose. I started *six months ago* with 12.5 mg, then went to 25 mg; but every time I tried to increase the dosage (I've had to do some very small dose increases) I would have extreme sleepiness or other side major effects versus mildly annoying ones.
And now it's rage. I am only on my 5th day at 75 mg, up from 50 mg -- but the rage thing is out of control and I feel I need to stop it IMMEDIATELY.
Do not know what I am going to do yet, but extreme agitation and rage; I got online tonight specifically to see if I could find anyone else with the same problem.
I am bipolar, along with additional problems with anxiety, agoraphobia and panic attacks.
