Hi Sue,
Thanks for your response! So the Lamictal really can
have side effects...I thought I was going crazy. I'm
still taking it but it's making me exhausted--to the
point that I've been missing a good deal of work,
which in turn is stressing me out beyond belief. I
live on Queen Anne. I also have to drive a lot for
meetings for my job, which obviously needs to stop.
The first seizure I had plowed me into the median
doing 50, totalling my car, breaking my leg and
fracturing a disc in my spine. I'm just glad that no
one else was hurt. Can you tell me more about your
daughter's side effects to the Lamictal?
I hope she's feeling alright. This group is a great
help to me.
Thanks!
Emily
