Seriously, all the time I'm always complaining about SOME sort of ailment. Headache, sore throat, nausea and tummy troubles, being backed up, the list goes on! I'm severley emetephobic and I'm only 17 So as of now I only weigh 97 pounds. I'm basically screwed, but the past two days I've been eating more so that's good I guess. But my problem is the medication Lamictal: been on it for about a year or two now, and it tastes GOD AWFUL unless I take it with chocolate or something. Well, chocolate every day for 2 years probably has taken its toll on me big time. But I can't try healthy alternatives because it makes me feel even sicker. Getting off of this stuff is going to take about a year at the most... so what do I do??? I'm so screwed and tired of feeling like crap, always.

Do you think the Lamictal helps?

Why would it take a year to get off of it if you want off?

If those effects are reasonably linked to Lamictal, then it makes good sense for them to wean you off it and try another "treatment modality." I couldn't live with those effects for long!

Are you taking the med with dark chocolate?
