Depressant drug symptoms and conditions

Funny that there is someone saying they have experienced weight gain w/ lamictal -- I've actually experienced the opposite. I've lost a few pounds since starting it and I'm already on the thinner side so I've actually been trying to put them back on and can't. The only thing I've noticed is that when I take it later in the day, I have a hard time falling asleep at night. I've been on lamictal almost 6 months, and I am on about 200mg right now. I'm not saying that this is the perfect anti-bipolar/depressant drug, but I don't want people to be afraid of weight gain and not take it if they need it.

numbness in hands, sometimes sooo bad it hurts and wakes me up in the middle of the night. Anyone else have this expierence?

I took one dose of advair because my doctor recommended it and my heart began pounding like a Jack Hammer within 2 hours of using it. I have a pulmonologist who prescribed it for me again and he thinks I should try it and get over the side-effects within 2 days.

After reading this website I think I'm just going to chuck the stuff. Don't you think that those of us who have used this stuff and had adverse reactions get together and file a class action law suit or at least try to warn the public in a major way about the dangers of this drug?

What are the statistics? I also would like to know if Glaxo has handled this drug like some other drug companies have handled anti-depressant drug reactions (ghost written the studies and pushed it through anyway). I don't trust the big drug companies.
