I have been taking lamictal for about two months now, slowly increasing about 25 mg a week to insure that I do not get the serious rash. I am not at about 150mgs a day now. I really do not like this drug. I waited patiently to feel different, better, for my moods to stabalize, and in place of feeling that way, i have been somewhat disoriented, more emotional, at a loss for words and I generally feel "stupider." It is a horrible feeling, i am usually very quick to my feet, and now i am lagging. In addition, I have been having very vivid, intense dreams, that I never had prior to taking lamictal. All I want to do is get off of this drug, however, i have to do so slowly because of this rash, and that too will just be another long waste of my time.

I had received Kenalog shots twice before for some stress-induced cystic acne on my forehead without any adverse affects. Last week I received two shots in the forehead from a new doc and seven days later was left with two discolored indentions.The only thing I can think of that was different between this treatment and the old is that my old doctor injected small amounts all around this cysts and the new doctor put full shots right into one spot.I am getting married in two months...reason for the stress and reason for the treament. I am very upset about this. I would have just waited patiently for the lumps to go away rather than be scarred like this.

ITCHING !!! OH MY !!! My husband went thru a severe bout with itching EVERYWHERE ! His sister was also on a related drug to Lisinopril and she was having itching problems too.
As for floaters and cobwebs and cloudy vision... I have ALL of those symptoms. I can't see at all to drive at twilight or when rain is on the windshield. I had a Dr appt this past Monday and had to cancel it because it was raining and I had no other way to get to the Dr.
I've been off the meds now for about 6 weeks and my strength is returning, my hair is shiny and feels like it has body again and I'm waiting patiently for my sight to get better. The acid reflux problem has improved too.
My girlfriend keeps telling me to see an eye doctor but I just saw one a bit over a year ago. I thought the new glasses were part of the problem as they are transition lenses and now I know it's just because my glasses are of the proper strength it's the Lisinopril that has messed me up.
God Bless,
