After stopping the Lamictal yesterday I got very anxious and jittery by the evening. Thought I would go on a walk to try to calm down, but then felt woozy and generally weird. Could not tell if it was the beginning of a panic attack or withdrawal side effects, but got worried I might pass out on the trail or something so went back home. Tried to meditate and while it did not go great it helped a little bit. Talked to my boyfriend after. If I let myself I would have stayed up all night as I was suddenly very wired, but I knew I needed to make myself sleep so laid in bed until I finally fell asleep. Was light and broken sleep, but slept 6-7 hrs. Woke up jittery and like I had already had coffee this morning. Going to work on my paper today and try to just take these possible withdrawal side effects as they come.
