Lamictal Panic Attacks

Posted by TheMeanReds on February 16, 2007, at 11:30:40

I've been steady on lamictal, 200 mg/day for Bipolar. But have noticed that severe anxiety is a side effect. It also definately causes me to have insomnia, so I take the lamictal when I wake up, and 100mg seroquel at bedtime. When I become anxious during the day I take 2mg klonopin.

But, severe anxiety still occurs. My doc said up the dose when I was on 100mg to subside depression and axiety. That didnt work. This is mainly a problem when I go to job interviews, or I go out to a concert. I do not take the ssri's because it makes the bipolar worse.

Has anyone augmented a med with lamictal because of anxiety? Not a benzo or an ssri though? And alcohol is out of the question.
