I have been on Lamictal for one week and feel terrible!! I'm using the meds to treat bipolar. My chest feels tight...I am exhausted all day...feel as if I am in a daze...headaches...muscle aches. I don't know if this is just side effects seen in the beginning and will subside with time?? I really feel bad.

Sorry, no good news here. After two agonizing months on Lamictal, my second and most recentn psychiatrist and I thought it best to return to an old reliiable drug, Lithium. I also take Topomax and Risperdal for manic episodes. As an extreme bi-polar/manic-depressive individual, I must say after five years of incorrect treatment, I have not felt this "normal" in many years. If your physician isn't sensitive to what you are experiencing on any particular regimen, it may be time to find someone who is. Good luck and I hope you are feeling better soon.
