double vision, twitches of large muscles to point of near seizure eventually then walked like I had parkinson's - could not lift my feet when walking so had to shuffle.
My primary care MD and my prescibing psychiatrist didn't either one believe these things were not symtoms of lamectal
toxicity "cause they never read about them: infact psych. suggested I probably wasn't BP after all and just needed counseling - and she was the one that gave me that diagnosis/label about 6 yrs ago ! Primary went along with her.
Don't deny counseling would help, but very angry when they said "behaviors" couldn't be due to lam. cause level too low.

i am currently at 100 mg at night. Have had chronic issues with keeping food in or down. Have gone through dramatic weight loss and fluctuation. The acne I can deal with, the headaches are bearable, and even the muscle aches I am growing used to. It is the severe dizziness that is getting to me. I will get lightheaded so quickly, and on several occassions have lost my hearing and twice have actual passed out. I thought perhaps this was due to lack of sleep and food deprivation, but continued once got both those a bit more on track.
Additionally, have been extremely irritable, anxious, unsettled and ANGRY. I have had horrible nightmares, fear, and when I sleep, only do it for periods of 1/2 hour or so before I wake up sweating, with heart racing and often yelling. I have had issues with extreme anxiety in addition to the diagnosis of bipolar variation. I want to try to stick with it till I am up to 200 mg per dr, but am growing discouraged.
