I have been on Tegreatall years ago
Mostley I remember depokote which I was on untill the summer.
Now I am on keppra and Lamactal.
Wobbly legsmmmm
The problem I get is like sometimes I dropp straight down sometimes I can catch my self at the knees.
Sounds strange but last night on the chat room somebody descripped the same thing.
When I was on depokote I had more myclonic jerks
Now with the Keppra and Lamactal I just go straight down. I am mostly aware when it happens I am a lit bit shakey for one week a moth. If you know what I mean.

just going off lamictal myself. major migrain headaches were my problem as i went on.the more mgs i had in me,the woste and longer the headaches would last.as i went off,the less the better. seems though i didnt notice too much of a difference till i was totally off.i wouldnt do it too fast though or without a neuros consent.if you think it could be the pills then slowly do it down half a pill per week.but you tell the neuro first!otherwise things could really go wrong.
