Lamactil

So, 5 years ago I had two seizures (that we know of) - but it was during a perfect storm, I had just been asked for a divorce, my son was very sick, I was drinking probably a bottle of vodka a day, I was eating horribly, turning 40 and stressed out about it . . . anyways, a perfect storm.  Anyways, I ended up having two Tonic Colonic seizures within two weeks.  Got put on lamotrogine and had no seizures for 4 years - then my Neurologist and I agreed I probably didn't need it anymore - went off it (6 week process) then, ends up we were wrong, well . . . come to think of it, he is the Neurologist so HE was wrong!  :-)  Had two seizures, that we know of, in the last few weeks, now starting to ramp back up lamotrogine, 6 weeks - and the side effects are SUCKING this time!   I've had bruising, joint pain, and skin stuff happen - but now thats faded.  But I have NO appetite anymore, I just don't get hungry.  And when I realize "hey, my body needs nutrients - its hard to keep it down, in the morning mainly - after 11am or so, once I've been up for awhile I can keep soups and stuff down.   If I have another week of those side effects I might have to change meds, but I'd rather not subject my body to a new thing.  And for four years I was on this med - with no real problems, and no seizures. Now as I go back on it - this, hopefully it will fade, meanwhile I'd rather this than seizures.  Anybody have any similar experiences with this drug?
