I didn't connect it to lamictal until I stopped taking the drug and the anxiety subsided. So I unfortunately won't be able to try it again. I was bummed. I only made it up to 100mg.
I've found relative success on my current cocktail though.

I'm sorry to hear you experienced unfortunate side effects, especially the intense anxiety, that sounds horrible. Good thing it stopped! It's also good you're doing well with your current meds. Don't know yet about Lamictal... I'm on day #2 of 25mg and I fell asleep for an hour without a Valium but with an oxycodone, woke up, and haven't been able to get back to sleep since. Hoping it has nothing to do with the Lamictal, but I've been having hypersomnia the past two weeks and the few times I couldn't sleep it was nothing an oxy or valium didn't help. Only thing that's changed is Lamictal... we'll see...
