Since seeing my doctor I have started to pay attention to how I feel after I take Lamictal. I still am not sure if the anxiety I am feeling is due to emotional stress or the drug. I did have to my daughter at the er today because she passed out at work and gashed her chin so it would make sense I am feeling anxious after especially since she went back to work after to get her stuff and is not home yet. I have no idea what normal is because I have complex PTSD .

I take Lamictal. When I was on 100 mg I felt activated, which came along with some extra anxiety. So doctor downed my dose to 75 mg and that feeling went away. But it's normal to be anxious at the ER. See if this continues and if it does talk to your doctor. I hope your daughter is okay. I have PTSD myself (not CPTSD).
Thanks for this!

I did see my nurse last week about my medication and I do see her again at the end of the month
