Lamictal

I am now on day 25 of my Lamctil (Lamotrigene) treatment. I am not up to full dosage yet nor am I convinced it has much effect. I seem to have more patinence and my anger isn't such a pain in the ass but this drug is supposed to be a mood stabilizer (spelling?) type drug (Simular to depacote which I am deathly afraid of...It effected me in ways that would have terroizrd a LSD user) but so far it seems to have left my mood in the very stable state of depressed.
Sunday walking home via the river route from the grocery store I could hardly contain my tears nad I had a deep "welling" sensation in my chest. I could describe it accurately but it was if my chest was filling with dread cool airand everything seemed like it should be a baby blue color (It wasn't). I was gripped with fear and hoplessness so I guess it was a sort of panic attack...damn how I miss my mania's...now there is some FUN!
Any whoot it passed and I got on with the business of living and did some more research on medications and treatment options I plan to discuss with my doctor tommorow. I am not impressed with this new drug so far butthen again I am not up to full dossage yet and I plan to keep on open min (Few others are doing so ...guess it's up to me).
I have also had some vision and cordination problems with lamactil as well as major sleep problems ( I have always had those to some degree but "L" seems to have made them worse.) If anyone reading this has had any experince with this medication please share your thoughts with me.
Thanks. This is Saint Tuesday (AKA The Grey Mouse) signing out.
