I suffered seizures for 2 years from lamictal although a rare side effect. I disobeyed my psychiatrist and stopped taking it when I lost the ability to speak or read for a week. I also had to slither like a snake to get around. I thank God the damage was not permanently. And it all started with a rash he told me to go to the emergency room immediately if I started to get. I did and the doc pulled his cell phone out and said (no lie) looks like flesh eating disease to me. We’ll pump you with Benadryl and hope for the best. He never checked on me and the blisters slowly subsided from my feet to my head. Told that same psychiatrist and he said he didn’t think it was the lamictal. That was my warning sign I should have listened to

@lind2sey. I know your pain of anxiety and depression well. Generally I have 1 panic attack each day from about 8 am until noon-ish. I might get another one starting at 3 if my husband isn’t home. That attack lasts til I take enough melatonin to knock me out. After years of searching I finally find a doc that will prescribe a benzo for me but even they sometimes have no effect. No antidepressant or antiseizure med has helped my anxiety.
