> Hi All! I started Lamictal a few weeks ago (added it to current mix of Prozac, Topamax and Neurontin). Felt fine, except for light headaches, until this week when I went up to 50 mg. I thought I had the flu, but it's lasted all week, so I think it's the med.

the very first day I took 25mg of Lamictal I had a sore throat later that night.
Didn't think anything of it until I accidentally skipped a day of taking it and I felt a little better. Well,
then it dawned on me it could be the med. I stopped it immediately and guess what...the sore
throat went away. My pdoc said this med has a
very low side effect profile.....figures I would
be one to get side effects. Seems I'm hypersensitive to meds. Best wishes in your
future and stop the Lamictal.
