I had to stop the magnesium. My ankles were swelling a little more each day, and my eyes were irritated.

All that stopped when I stopped the magnesium.

I don't think it's an allergic reaction. A lot has happened during the past several months, and I think my body is saying, "Not this, not now."

I think my allergic reaction to Vrylar kicked it off last summer, followed by my recent reaction to a higher dose of Lamictal.

I'll try again when - if - things settle down, physically.

I'm still not sleeping enough. I'm so, so tired all of the time. It's one more thing to push through, but it's really hard and has a big cost.
