> One thing you would want to check is your Blood Pressure: mine was increasing even a 10mg about 30 min after I took it. With 30mg my BP was increase by 30 points! from 125-130 to 155-160.
I have to be concerned about the other end of the BP spectrum -- orthostatic hypotension. I had some real low BPs in the past.
> What are your side effects with Lamictal ?At 25 mg I told my doc that I was very tired and felt somewhat drugged. My neurologist told me to re-start it because that's not a usual Lamictal side effect.
I honestly can't be sure right now. It's currently hard to distinguish between side effects and med symptoms. I take Lamictal, Parnate, Klonopin and 4 other meds for other conditions.
I do think that it's safe to say that I feel better on Lamictal alone, or with only 10 mg of Parnate, than I did with 300 mg Wellbutrin.
