Lamotrigine & Body Pain

Mon, 04/23/2018 - 23:54
Hello, Has anyone experienced body pain while on lamotrigine (lamitcal) I have been on lamotrigine for approx 8 years. I have chronic back and neck pain that started around same time frame as this medication. Trying to rule out side effects as I am physically active and eat well but nothing has improved. Looking forward to your thoughts. Cheers, Alana

I'm on the same med & my back stays hurting. At first I wasn't sure if it was the meds, or strain from seizures, or old injury flaring up. Its the meds. I have no real solutions for ya. A long soak in a hot bath with salts helps. Hang in there.
