Side Effects After Coming OFF of Lamictal

Mon, 04/28/2008 - 13:59
How long should I expect to have side effects after coming off of Lamictal? I am three months removed from the last 25mg pill, and I am still experiencing some of the medication's side effects. Has it made changes in my brain? Will the side effects eventually go away? I am on no other medication at this time.

talk with the doc, what may seem like side effects may be something else.  the side effects will usually go away.  like any medication, it can have psycological addictive properties.  i can say from my own experience that with medications, the changes scare the crap out of me, and it takes me a while to get things back into prospective.  hope it help.  rikk
