Lamictal Side Effects

A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question πŸ’­
Atlanta, GA

Does anyone feel tired more than usual, jerk in the middle of the night with itching and twitching, feel dizzy, confused to where you often lost your train of thought right when you started the task and have blurred or double vision?

I'm having trouble distinguishing because I'm also pregnant and since this itch factor is not a listed side effect I would like to know if anyone else felt like this before.

I feel overly tired when my protien is low. Try a healthy protien snack. Cheese stick of string cheese or banana, glass milk. Perks me back up Especially since I don't take cafine

How long ago did you start lamictal. Phenobarbital is an old drug, but if you were doing well on it take it.
I am lightheaded, tired and have to leave a sedative life style. Keep in touch
