This drug replaced Lamictal for treatment of Bipolar. The side effect I experienced from Lamictal was intense anxiety attacks. My anxiety was so bad it became debilitating. I was switched to this drug in hopes that it would not produce anxiety. Unfortunately, after 2 weeks of taking it, I am starting to have the same side effects of extreme anxiety. I take an anti depressant and an ADHD medication in addition to this medication. My doctor tells me if I don't take some kind of mood stabilizer I will be in and out of the hospital for the rest of my life. But, my anxiety is so bad I'm willing to take the risk. I hope I can find something that will work as a mood stabilzer that won't cause so much anxiety.

Gave to me by neurologist for Tranverse Myilitis--damaged nerves in neck and right arm and hand. Some day it hurts and the medication don't help. I take 600 mg a day.I feel like the pain is muscle related also. I feel like this medication is the reason I have gained weight.
