I haven't heard of that one. Is it like there is a split second that your breathing is delayed (like your body forgot to breath), or is it that every breath takes more effort? Lung effort? Muscle? Feeling like you can't get enough oxygen?

Sorry, I don't have an answer for any scenario, but I'm just curious. I take Lamictal and have not experienced it.
I have had the experience from accidentally taking a pain reliever (after surgery), where I was sort of sedated and felt like my body would sometimes forget to breath (kinda scared me).
