Firstly, I’m sending you lots of 🤗 hugs. Secondly, I commend you on your courage and strength in your fight against cancer! I know from family members how challenging both physically and mentally that fight can be. Thirdly, I was just as petrified as you to start Lamictal. In fact, I delayed starting it for many days. Finally, I got tired of dealing with the symptoms of my treatment resistant depression and anxiety and decided to try the Lamictal. I just completed 7 days of 25 mg and titrated up, this morning, to 50 mg. (Some psychiatrists have their patients do a slower titration.) I am praying that I don’t develop any serious side effects.
Please know that you’re not alone. Also, remember you are a fighter. If you can face cancer head on, you can also face Lamictal head on! You have already demonstrated your amazing courage, strength, and fortitude!!! You are also under doctor’s care; so, if anything develops while you’re on the Lamictal, they will be right there to help you. Additionally, I will be thinking of you and wishing you well as we deal with Lamictal together. You are an inspiration to me and I’m sure to countless others! You’ve got this — all of this — and you will make it through!!! 🤗🤗🤗 Please keep us posted as to how you are doing and remember that we care immensely about you and wish you well.
