I recently had to go off Lamictal because I was having swollen glands in my throat and beginning in other places like the fold of my elbows and knees. I also had terrible body ached and joint pains. I am going to debrief with my p-doc at out next appointment and try to decide what to do, because it was starting to work on my moods. It was my second try with Lamictal.

I suppose any med you take can have an effect of your libido. That's something to ask your doctor about.

By the way, as I was coming off of it, I had some headaches and one day where I was all tied up in knots and couldn't think. It was the weirdest thing I ever felt. I also had really weird vivid and lifelike dreams. In fact, I recently told my husband that a local theater company had emailed me to let me know about auditions for Pirates of Penzance, but when I got the real newsletter in my inbox, the auditions were for Sweeny Todd. I am actually having a hard time distinguishing the difference between my dreams and reality, still.

I hope Lamictal works for you.
