What to expect from Lamictal?
Yesterday, my neurologist put my on Lamictal for migraine prevention. Today, I'm aggitated and irritated. Could one dose cause this side effect? Does anyone have experience with Lamictal side effects or even direct effects? I've tried Googling it, but it's hard to get definitive and concise information. Thanks!

I am on lamictal and I do adjust my dosages sometimes, right now I am on 150mg and I was on 200mg for a long time. I have never stop it abruptly so I can not speak from my own experience. However, what is commonly agreed between all of the psych docs is that no of the medicine that they prescribe should be stopped cold turkey! (except sedatives which of course you take as needed). Could you please provide us with more information - how much of lamictal was she on? Because if she were on 50mg stopping all of a sudden is much safer than if she were on 200mg.
