I'm sure this has been discussed at sometime, but today I don't have much patience to look. I was put on Lamictal and Risperadal about a month ago for bipolar. I also take ritalin, neurontin, and amantadin. I gradually upped lamictal and now take 50 mg in week four of sample pack. Last week, I began having pain in back of head, neck and shoulders. By end of week the pain was severe. Today it's like I can't feel my arms, they are numb with pain beginning at base of neck down. Hard to type as my head can't make my hands and arms function. This has progressivly got worse since last week. I have read lamictal can cause muscle pain. Has anyone else experinced this? I go to pdoc today and feel like a failure cuz every drug I try doesn't work out. I also have dizziness and problems with vision that I assume is from amantadin. If I can't take that I dont' know what I'll do because that is to stop wieght gain. Please share if anyone has had this type of thing happen.
Last month I felt I was going crazy this month I feel embarrassed.
