Okay I'm a hypochrondric but what are the first symtoms of Stevens Johnsons Syndrome? I know from Fairywings that sores in your mouth happen but does excess saliva in your mouth and throat be a symtom. See I told my anxiety was bad. Love Phillipa

I'm not aware of that being related. Is there something particularly mouth-watering nearby?

GG phew you calmed me down. That means it's the aspartane in the diet green tea I was drinking I never drink diet anything. Google aspartane it can cause cancer, fibromyalgia, all sorts of horrible things. Don't use any diet products with aspartane. And after you google it you won't I guarantee it. Love Phillipa who is relieved now.

Although aspartame is not particularly good for you, the studies that link it to cancer and such used humongous quantities that humans would not normally consume.
So, diet drinks in moderation are not very likely to cause cancer or other serious illnesses.

Phillipa, I don't know the first signs of Stevens Johnson. I think it starts with rashes and bumps.
Question for you though...I'm curious for an update on how you are doing. Is there any anti-anxiety so far with lamictal?
I experienced quite an increase of my anxiety with it, even with just 6mg and 12.5mg, along with pretty bad leg cramps. Weird though, it has good antidepressant effects on the first day I take it, even at just 6mg, and then it feels lousy the second, but if I stop it, it feels good again the first day I stop it. Maybe I might do it every other day and see what happens. I know 6mg sound ridiculous, but there is at least one other person I've heard of that said that was the best dose for them.
I thought lamictal was not supposed to have sexual side effects. It definitely does for me.
Anyway, how is lamictal going for you?

Your experience with Lamictal is not uncommon. People often feel better upon a change in dosage whether it is an increase or a decrease. Because of this, people have been fooled into thinking that a lower dose is optimal.

Scott so keep going up on the dose like the starter pack. So far no side effects. No increased anxiety,But so far I'm on week two of 50mg . Have no idea what the target dose it. So I'd say I did some more things last week and even went to Wildcards house to give her son a birthday gift. So I guess that's some improvement. Love Phillipa
