hallucination?

deleted_user
deleted_user
i have the feeling that i'm dying. it isn't panicky like usual. i feel like something is eating away at my muscles from the inside. literally, i feel like i'm melting.

what is going on you guys??

i jumped from 200 to 300 mg of lamictal a couple of weeks ago; is this what that much lamictal does to you?

or should i be worried that i have some disease ... i'm suddenly all worried that i have some disease.

but i have the actual sensation right now, that my body is melting. kind of not in a good way? is this just night meds? i feel kind of delusional and light.

I've never heard of lamictal causing these symptoms. Is it anxiety by any chance? If so do you have anything to take as a prn?

Might be worth a call to the pdoc to have checked out. Good luck

I'd go with delusional and psychotic. A call to your doc NOW or a trip to the ER right away is in order. It helps to understand what's going on but it has always been a very uncomfortable place for me to be so get some help!

I've had that loss of body sence...It's so scary.

If you have a 24 Pharmacy near you,call and ask to talk to the pharmacisit,tell him what your meds,and dosages you take,most pharmacisit are very helpfull and will give you advice on if it's something to be concerned about....take care

no, fuck i can't go to the ER ... insurance hasn't kicked in yet; i'm still paying for the last 2 ER visits. & my doc is this state-funded guy who has time to talk to me for 15 minutes every two months. i doubt i could get ahold of him if i tried.

i guess just wait it out? sometimes it goes away in the morning.

i have had psychotic shit happen before.

took prn. but i'm all shaky.

I'm at 300mg lamictal and I don't feel that way! I feel like I am GOING to die, like in a car wreck or a brain aneurysm or some other unlikely incident thanks to my anxiety, but what you're describing is very different. Weird. Is it scary?

maybe google lamictal...could it be a side-effect?

It could also be a dissociative thing. Do you feel like you're not real....dreamlike? Like you're in a zone or something?

rain--yes! it is kind of scary! i'm trying to just chill with it and enjoy it as a just kind of melty feeling.

i didn't drink alcohol or anything today.

just googled it...lots of stuff on lamictal & joint pain & muscle ache...hmm, sorta in the ballpark.

jill... yeah. i do get that too sometimes. ptsd & bp 2 dxs so that could be... too...

i'm gonna take another klonopin & lie back & try to just chill with it. dying wouldn't be so bad anyway, but i am probably not actually dying. i've had this hallucination before. you know that feeling? like a bad acid trip kinda

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
