Lamotrigine side effect

I might be a candidate for adverse effects for this one. Right from day 1. Within an hour of taking it i get a mild fever, all my joints hurt and muscles, and i feel like vomiting. Today same thing and i straight up got confused at lunch time about where I was. Then my mood eratically went up and down. Then i was just nauseated for the rest of the day.
Seems to of worn off, i think i may call my doc and ask if i should keep taking it.

I didn’t notice anything I’m on lamictal and have been for years the 1st week it felt like the weight of the world was on my shoulder went away I noticed a difference actually after 3 days I was in a major mixed episode and I’d be dead without it but as with anything it’s not for everybody

However if I was you I’d call your pharmacist and ask if it’s a adverse reaction

Like when i took risperidone for a few months for a mixed episode i had no side effects. It just calmed things down a bit. But this stuff i just felt physically ill from it.

What dose are you on? I just decided to retry it at 25mg.
