The involvement of dopamine in the antidepressant properties of Lamictal is just a hypothesis of mine, so take what I say with a grain or two of salt.That's an interesting thought. I do feel energized, and I'm getting more done without feeling like it's such a burden to even move. But I don't feel especially ramped up to the point of discomfort.

It could be muscular spasms, paresthesia, or some other neurological phenomenon. You'll find reports of these in the PI label. Either way, I wouldn't worry about it unless it persists for more than a week. At that point, I would ask for your doctor's input.Yeah, it seems to be waning. And the furnace is still running. :) Although who knows what kind of resonance could have been going on. Nothing along the lines of the Verrazano-Narrows (sp?) bridge, though.
