"i was given lamictal after a long period of trial and error with other medicines. lamictal was wonderful, but much to my dismay i did experience severe side effects. when i went up to 200mgs a day i began to break out with hives from head to toe, eventually hands, feet, and face began to swell. was finally taken off of it in er. i truly wish this hadn&#039;t happened, with lamictal the horrible outbursts of anger ceased to occur and i finally felt &quot;normal&quot;. i hope my doctor can put me on something that works as well as lamictal. i am afraid to end up like i was."
