You know i had the same effect of feeling a flu like feeling coming on when i was on a low dose of Lamictal. My pdoc gradually upped it over time and im now at 200mg in the morning and at night. If you can make it through and get past the initial side effects, which isnt that bad, really. I think the Lamictal will help you alot. It has worked wonders for me and i never thought after a year or so i'd never find a med to help. I wish you the best of luck with this med. Keep going and hold on, you'll get there.

love ya,
chalmette
