I'm just wondering if its common to be going through withdrawels and throwing up. I just threw up again tonight and I stopped the last of my 25mil lamictal last night. I also stopped 12mil Prestiq today. And I've been blowing out blood for a few days but I'm negative for covid so I don't think thats related.
But yeah I've been tapering off Lamictal since Januaray 8th and I've thrown up 3 times. Is this common and will it go away or should I get it checked out by a GP because it might be something else? I do have that "no big deal" messed up right side intestine thing too. Honestly I just feel like complete **** right now physically and I haven't been very hungry in a few days either. __________________ Ridin' with Biden |

I weaned myself off 200mg of Lamictal and have been completely off for going on six (?) days now. I haven't been spewing or anything. I don't know if that's normal or not. It probably depends on the person.
Oh - editing raspberry coming in, I also contracted the flu from my daughter and have been blowing snotty blood. Yick. You're probably just sick. __________________ The darkest of nights is followed by the brightest of days.

Re: 25mil lamictal, I think you mean 25 mg of Lamictal. Mil means milliliter. I was confused, thinking you might be taking Lamictal in liquid form and I am not aware of Lamictal coming in liquid form (Lithium does). the acronym of milligrams is mg.
I had no trouble at all quitting Lamictal, but of course everyone is different. I agree with Raspberry in that you are probably just sick. Not every sickness can be attributed to withdrawal from pharmaceuticals. __________________ Bipolar I w/psychotic features Last inpatient stay in 2018 Geodon 40 mg Seroquel 75 mg Lybalvi 5 mg as a PRN Gabapentin 1200 mg, Vitamin B-complex (against extrapyramidal side effects) Long term side effects from medications some of them discontinued: - hypothyroidism - obesity Suspected narcolepsy Treated with Ritalin 5mg |

I don't remember what happened with Lamictal. But throwing up seems to be common with me when I withdraw from something.
