I am not bipolar, but I am posting this here because I think i will get more feedback for this since Lamictal is for bipolar disorder. I have been on Wellbutrin, and three weeks ago a psychiatrist prescribed me Lamictal to add to it even though I was doing fine on the Wellbutrin alone. I took 25mg of Lamictal for the first two weeks and then I went up to 50mg. Ever since I started taking this, I have rapidly gained 10lbs, I am getting horrible cluster headaches, I am in a constant brain fog, I am having depersonalization, and last night I started having mild suicidal thoughts (which my BF helped me with). I am diagnosed depressed, not bipolar. So I am not sure why I was put on this.
Can I quit taking this? Or any tips to just ween off? I know everyone will say to wait for my doctors advice but I really can not take these side effects anymore and I would contact the psychiatrist but he is now on vacation for a month & I have no way of getting a hold of him also at this point I am not too trusting of him.
