Want to get off this med :(
Hi there, I hope everyone is doing well. I started lamotrigine at the beginning of March this year. I began at 25 mg and have been doubling the dose every two weeks. I’m now at 100 mg. I’m not sure if it’s working yet. I know it may be too early, but I feel worse on it compared to before. My anxiety has worsened, and my crying spells have become more frequent. Also, my period has not stopped since starting it. I honestly don’t feel good being on this medication.
What has your experience been like with tapering? Do you think it would be less intense since I’ve only been on it for about two months?
I will also talk to my provider about this but just wanted to see what other people’s experience was like. I’d really appreciate any input that you guys may have.
Thank you and take care.
