Was wondering where you were. Not sure if you know who I am but I've been posting in here a lot recently. I remember your posts from a while back. Glad to hear things are going so much better for you!!

About the drugs did your DR say that it was ok to go off the lamictal as quickly as you did? From your post it sounds like you didn't taper. Usually you want to taper off of most mental health drugs. I'm currently trying to get off cipralex, an SSRI, that I've been on for about a year. But it's going to take a month or so to taper off. Otherwise I would expect a lot of bad side effects, jittery, bad dream sweats, jumpy, brain shocks etc... I'm surprised the same wouldn't be true for an anticonvulsant.
