I am up to 200 mg of Lamictal and I have started to notice the past two weeks or so this intense feeling of anger at the whole entire world. When I say the whole world I mean at everything. The smallest things upset me and make me angry. Its starting to effect my relationships with my husband, family and friends. Is this a possible side effect of Lamictal? Its the only things that I can really think of that has changed over the past few weeks. Or am I just loosing it?

When I went from 25mg for 2 wks up to 50mg, I noticed that I would wake up pretty much neutral but within 30-45 mins of taking lamictal I'd be very irritable. Depending on what happened to push my buttons, I could be provoked right on up into anger--not out of control stuff, but definitely nothing I want--but I just couldn't get hold of it. During the second week at this level these emotions tapered off. I'm up to 100mg now in my 3rd month on the med with no anger/irritability issues.

I just went up to 400 mg last wed, and I've been irritable in the mornings since then. I might be the lamictal, it might just be a mixed episode, IDK.
