Medication Adjustment....
Posted: 08-11-05 08:15am

Hi all,

my psych has just recently adjusted my meds from lamictal 100 mg and effexor 112.5 mg to

lamictal 125 mg and weaning me off of effexor. I was on effexor 75 mg last week, forgot to take it at all yesterday, and today I start the 37.5 mg.

Ever since yesterday I have been dizzy, nausea, itchy, dry heaves, etc. If I move my head too quickly, I feel as if i'm going to pass out.

I've called my doctors office, but they apparently don't get in until 10, so I left a message.

The main thing i'm concerned about is the itching. Even though I don't see a rash, i'm wondering if i'm having the "severe" side effect that i've been warned about. Have been on lamictal itself for 6 months+ but like I said, the dosage was just upped last week.

Thanks for any input!!!
