Hi
>My Pdoc started me on 10mg of Lamictal as I had side effects to 25 mg. It has been two months. While not helping the depression, it made my thinking crystal clear. We increased a week ago by 2.5 mg, and I am having anxiety, brain spasma, fatigue, and faacial flushing, and shortness of breath.
You must be very sensitive to Lamictal. I would decrease the dose back down to 10mg if I were you. It doesn't sound like you will be able to tolerate a higher dose.
>I have tried every class of AD, and can't tolerate them.
Have you tried the MAOIs?
