I was off my lamictal for 2.5 days and boy was that a rude awakening. I had disordered thought, my anxiety came back, I had a splitting headache, I couldn't sleep, every timei closed my eyes I had nightmares, it was extreme.

That was out of my control though. I did this at a crisis center which did not have my meds.

I did however, go from 375mgs of lamictal to just 300 mgs of lamictal and I felt more depressed but I could feel music again! God it was great, then the panic attacks came back and I had to up it back up to 375. Turns out, Lamictal also works for my panic attacks.

Sometimes the side effects are just as bad as the illness it treats. I do not say this lightly.
