lamictal newbie - please introduce me !

Posted by francesco on April 9, 2004, at 13:13:27

This is my story in short. I have started Zoloft two weeks ago and I have experienced cycling, hypomania,irritability and hostility. Therefore I've decided to start Lamictal because all ADs I've tried have made feel this way (even when they have 'worked').

I have felt better from the very first day (that is to say today) and I'm very hopeful about this new treatment. I feel like I don't hate everyone anymore for no particular reason and this is what I hoped (ok, maybe it's just placebo effect ... is all this possibile from the very first day ???)

But I'm experiencing some side-effect which are boring and I'd like to know if they fade away with time or if you have something encouranging to say about this med.

side effects:
mild headache (not boring)
some agitation (without anxiety, not unpleasant and maybe Zoloft it's contributing)

some sleepiness at some point of the day which was so severe that I went to bed for half an hour

some ache in the bones (possible ?) and weakness

impaired concentration and memory (which were afwul also to begin because I have adhd ... but I think with Lamictal they are worse)

maybe also impaired motor coordination

worsening of pre-existing prostatits (does it make sense to anyone ?)

anyway, my mood is so good that I'm not thinking about quitting it ... any comment is very appreciated.

Thanks !
