Lamictal - Bad Withdrawal

Fri, 07/01/2016 - 02:25
Hi All, I am a 20-year-old man. I was taking Lamictal for a year and a half and just finished a pretty nasty withdrawal from the drug after a long titration period. During the past week and half of withdrawal, I experienced hundreds of seizures in a day, crazy shifts in mood, muscle pain and weakness, and when I speak it's too garbled to understand. My doctor doesn't know what's going on and I'd love advice/answers/perspectives.
