"i have been on lamictal for about two months. yes, i have some side effects dry mouth, double vision sometimes when i blink it goes away, joint and muscle pain and now i think acne. i take 300mg during the day. 200mg at night. i also take gabapentin for muscle aches and joint pain which really helps! i also take klonopin when necessary i am prescribed for half twice a day and one at night but don&#039;t need it. i have a ton of energy and lost weight food no longer is my priority. i exercise daily and feel fantastic! i do have anger issues i have always has that. i am in therapy also. i think and feel like a different person so the side effects far outweigh going off medicine! good luck."
