withdrawal symptoms from lamictal??

Postby butterfly2009 » Sat Oct 31, 2009 2:43 am

I have been having leg shakes in one or both of my legs at different times. Last night was the first time it happened after it had happened before about a month ago. The first time both of my legs were shaking and I was still taking the lamictal and now since I have missed a dose or two it still occurs. I did not miss any doses the first time this happened.
Whats going on?

There should not be any withdrawal symptoms from Lamictal. It is not the type of drug that form dependencies.

What you are having is called "Myoclonic Twitches". This not really a side effect of the medicine. However the Lamictal may be the cause. You should see your doctor as soon as possible and discuss it with him/her.

You should not stop using the Lamictal without discussing it with your doctor.
