"my experience with this drug is rather odd. i got good relief from 25 mg, felt even better at 50, 75 also good. then bam when i increased to 100 mg i began feeling super depressed and very very anxious. went back down to 75 mg. it&#039;s too bad really - because i know it&#039;s working - i just can&#039;t reach a therapeutic dosage..
also i&#039;ve had lots of side effects - most of which has all disappeared: no appetite but always hungry (lost 4 kg), itching, a small rash which went away, hypomania right after an increase, uncontrolled eye rolling, numbness in my face, constant throat clearing and constant blinking of my eyes, acid reflux. when i switched from the generic to the brand name lamictal a lot of these side effects went away."
