Hi all,
Lamictal is supposed to be more or less without side effects but I experienced some. I got sharp shooting pains in different parts of my body that would come and go for maybe a couple of hours then disappear then reappear elsewhere in a day or two. No big deal.
But they finally settled into a kind of neuralgia in my lower front teeth. Still tolerable. But I also got a chronic low grade headache. And it made the SSRI-induced muscle tightness in my back and neck much much worse.
OTOH, it did help with the hyper, jittery, wired feeling. I was able to reduce my Klonopin very considerably while on it. I never even reached a therapeutic dose, just up to 50mg.
