Lamictal, why give up entirely?

Why give up entirely? Back way off on the dose and go more slowly. We all have such different reactions to these meds. Maybe its not for you but, it has been so good for so many. Are you tapering off something else? That can account for many symptoms you described. Are you on other meds? I'd start again at 12.5 and increase by the month see if you tolerate it better. Three weeks up to 50mgs is not a very slow build up. Hang in there. I've heard of headaches and activation as start up side effects but all that stuff you descibe could be due to going too quickly. It could also be that you and Lamictal are a bad match but don't junk it completely just yet.
