I've been on Lamictal XR 250mg for a few months now, and while it's helped stabilize my moods, I've been dealing with some pretty nasty side effects. I'm curious if anyone else has had similar experiences. The dizziness and drowsiness are manageable, but the stomach issues and joint pain are getting out of hand. Has anyone found ways to mitigate these side effects? Or am I just stuck dealing with them? Also, what should I do if I experience any of the more serious side effects listed? I'm a bit worried about some of the scary stuff like HLH or liver problems. Any advice from others who have been through this would be greatly appreciated!
