Dizziness,nausea,vertigo,tiredness,weakness,muscle aches [particularly my neck and lower back] and a dr. that keeps telling me it must be a coincidence ann that i probably have the flu,even though i've been on lamictal for 6 weeks and have just raised my level to 50 mgs. a day[am slowly weaning off depakote].wanted to go on lamictal because dr. assured me it would not have the cognitive side effects depakote has.she definitely has not been truthful since i've been reading alot of postings by others who have alreadytaken lamictal and they're having alot of difficulty withfinding theright word when speaking,trouble concentrating and reading and just plain old fogetfulness and associated confusion.and she wants me to happily subject myself to this!help-i'm scared to death!
