Hello my wife is on Lamictal 300 and she started experiencing similar issues feeling like she could not breath and major chest pains. The doctors assumed it was a panic attache, but I was not convinced. She has reduced the Lamictal to 200. Her chest pains still seem to be there but the breathing issues have reduced dramatically. But her state of mind has suffered from reducing the Lamictal, she feels very irritable now. She also experienced a major Acne breakout after going to Lamictal 300. Lamictal is a fantastic medication if you can live with the side effects. We might go back to taking the 300 as the benefits seem to out rank the negatives.
I have a patient that I am following with low phosphorus on Lamictal. I can't say for sure it is the cause. Thanks for posting your message. I will post again if I can determine it is the cause. I would like to know if your phosphorus improved after stopping Lamictal.
