Every time I try to increase my dose of Lamictal, I get chills. I'm only up to 100mgs. But it happened when I increased from 75-87.5mg.
I've also had a night of terrible stomach cramps which I think was also the Lamic.I'm getting a little freaked out.
Anybody else have either of these responses to Lamictal?
Do they go away once your body gets used to the dose?

Gee, I'm sorry to hear that every time you try to increase your dose of Lamictal, you get chills. I'm also titrating up on Lamictal and all I seem to watch out for is the infamous *rash*! No chills or cramps, thank goodness, knock on wood.
I would think that YES, these side effects WILL go away as your body gets used to each higher dose, but if they do not go away, tell your pdoc.
I'm at 75mg, will ramp up to 100mg next week. If I experience either or both of what you have I'll try to let you know - I don't get on a computer very often these days.
