Could be the stress I am under or the fear of another manic episode but when I took it at night I was wiped dead the the world. So perhap I can get restorative slep.

I enjoy running outside/inside. Outside I fear might injury another person because my equilibrium is a bit off. However, it should equal out with vimpat and lyrica. That is why my daily life is off.

Advice & Tips
An unexpected benefit of Lamictal XR is that it has helped counteract some of the moodiness that the Keppra had induced in me. Lamictal XR has been an okay drug thus far, the main issues I have with it are major body aches and the occasional headache.

Date

Advice & Tips
I had SERIOUS problems with this mediation. When I missed so much as a single dose, I would start having serious chills and night sweats and felt like someone coming down off heroine or something. The neuro told me that could not possibly be a side effect. But it happened on three separate occasion after that - and again when I had to wean off of it to go on some other similar med. BEWARE!
