My nonverbal daughter, autism and epilepsy is almost finished with Zonisamide titration which seems to have caused a fecal impaction leading to hospitalization .. now starting Lamictal, at 75 mg now , target dose 100 then blood level, she has very few seizures .. but she's very agitated, seems to have headaches as she points to head.. dr thinks 100 mg not enough? Im concerned as its for bipolar why she seems so "edgy", also slight bluish tinge to lips.. she's on Coreg for b/p.. i just hope as Zonisamide out of system the Lamictal will be okay AED for her ..any thoughts on Lamictal? Thank you
