oh wow.. I could have just about written this. Every. Word.

I've only been on Lamictal for a few days, low dose as well, and it's been like some kind of miracle for me. But I've been itching like crazy, and I've also been experiencing some mild kind of psychosis and I'm terrified that I might have to give it up.

I'm sorry, call me naive, but I WOULD take the psychosis and borderline mania than the way I was before. I know that's probably not great... but two weeks ago I was driving around sobbing thinking seriously about jumping off a bridge. I'll take THIS. Whatever THIS is.

I don't know anything about gland swelling, but I completely understand the fear behind having to give it up and my heart goes out to you.

Maybe if you call your pdoc and let them know. There may be something else you can get for that particular side effect.
