Hi...it's me again . I have now titrated up to 100 mg. of lamictal and next week will jump to 200. No rash..that's good! But, my body aches!!! My neck and and upper shoulders are so sore. Is this a common side effect? I read that it could be..but was wondering if anyone else has had this ...and when I can expect it to end???? Also...does this med make you a bit ....for lack of a better work.....slow...mentally? I am not quite sure if this is the depression or maybe my body's response to the aches and pains. I also hope that this jump to 100 or maybe to the 200 mg. will help with my depression soon. Thanks so much for your help.
