I just started taking 25mg of lamictal last week, but my doctor told me to stop I had to stop because my legs and feet started swelling pretty badly.
Has anyone else experienced this?

I have an appointment Tuesday to find out what to try next. Right now, I'm just taking Xanax for panic.

I get so tired of this sometimes. I'm not actually suicidal, but I did google to find out if it would hurt to die from a xanax overdose. Apparently, it does hurt because it causes liver failure, which is reportedly a very painful way to die.
Like I said, I'm not really suicidal. Just wishing all of this could magically stop. But I know it never will.

Sorry you had a lousy side effect to Lamictal .

Just keep your mind busy and distract yourself when the feelings hit.. You can make it to Tuesday and you and your Pdoc can agree on a new treatment.

Stay safe
