Hi all, hoping for some personal onsite, I've started taking Lamotrigine and was on 25mg for 3 weeks, light headaches & a couple sleep issues I was okay! However since upping to 50mg on Monday (5 nights ago) I've been struggling nightly with prickly skin that feels like I'm being constantly bitten by midges, being hot and restless and aching joints and muscles, it's starts 1/2 hrs into dose and runs half the night before easing into exhaustion. Dose anyone recognise this and if so will it pass as I think it's helping and will persevere if these side effects are temporary. Thanks

i take lamotragine and never had any problem like that.
i think you should call your doctor right away. It might be an allergic reaction and not just a side effect.
I'm on that, been having the same feeling as if I'm being bit, burning sensation on skin about 1 hour after I take it, I'm up to 200mg daily. I think I should call my doctor
