Hey there, Blue!
Wow! Looks painful!
So, after a couple of trials, pdoc was fine with keeping the dose lower.
Last week, she gets on the topic again, saying, I don't want you to think I don't believe you (dizziness, sleepiness) but...NOBODY gets tired or dizzy from Lamictal! I told her I know differently.
her response was: On the literature for pdocs, it says patients will go hypo and will blame Lamictal. Same with depression and increased sleepiness. Symptoms never caused by Lamictal.
I told her I'd be fair and start a thread here to see what people share. Her response? they are going to do the same thing! They are going to blame Lamictal when it is their mood, not Lamictal.
A mood causes dizziness?
Sometimes...she is impossible.
My rheumy says: Anyone can have any side-effect at any time. End of story.
thanks, Blue and All!
