I'm on day 6 of Lamictal, just 25 mg. Within about three days I swear I felt like a new person. I have not felt "normal" or stable in over a decade and realizing what it is made me realize just how sick I have been for so long. I don't want to go back there & have my hopes so high!!! I'm a better mother & person, I haven't yelled at anyone or gone to my bed for hours. I stopped crying and cursing constantly. I can tolerate myself and others. I just can't even explain how it feels to come out of that darkness after so long. My hopes are so high that this could be my life now.

Last night my throat started to hurt and the bottom of my mouth (below tongue started to ache). This morning I woke up with pain and swelling in my neck that hasn't gone away and all afternoon I've had heart palpitations. I don't know if this is something I just need to get through or if I should call the doctor. I don't want to give this medication up! I was so near death just two weeks ago.

What do you think? What should I do? I've read old posts here where people had the gland swelling, but they don't come back and follow up with what eventually happened so I don't know what the long term view is. Anyone have experience with this?

Thanks - Pink&Grey
