> Seriously lamictal is so low that you won't have side effects. At least I didn't and I started higher Phillipa
Well Phillipa, it's because even if the dose is very low, the PI sheets of the Lamictal is about 25 pages long... the listed side-effects are bar far WORSE and more dangerous than the ones from any SSRI on the market.
Since a little while I have more heart related symptoms, in the morning it's awful how bad I feel, the chronic chest pain, tacahycardia, hands and feet turning blue, numbness of the left side of the body... Did you know that the Lamictal cause some ECG change? It can lead to fatal arrhythmia, artarial fibrilation... since i'm prone to arrhythmia I don't want to put my life in a dangerous way...
I did talk with my Pharmacist and he said to me that the Lamictal have more side-effects than SSRI, he don't understand why my PDoc RX it for anxiety since almost all the peoples who take it have anxiety and hyperactivity kind of symptoms from it...
I think the best I can do for now is to wait until I see my Family Doc and talk with him about it... I see him in 3 weeks... And Start the Paxil at low dose 1 mg...and increase when I feel ready to do it...
I have a lot of anxiety in my life right now, a lot of family problems and also a lot of problems from my ex friends... I can't deal with side-effects from a med that I don't even know if I will react in a good way or a bad way from it...
Also tomorrow I have my 24 h blood pressure monitoring and have to stop at the blood tests departement and have a complete blood tests done... The very low energy level I have right now and all the other symptoms are not normal... i'm sure the calcium, magnesium, potassium, sodium are not good at all since i'm having a lot of muscles pain and also weakness... albumin probably drop also since I lost weight recently again... i'm trying to eat a little bit more but with the constipation and bowel pain it's almost impossible, I take 3 centrum everyday now but it's not seem to help with the energy... will see my results, will ask them to send them by fax at home...
