I started having myoclonic twitches and jerks about
a month after my grand mal seizure in August (which we began treating with Lamictal). The twitches and jerks got worse as my dose of Lamictal increased. My doctor and I assumed these symptoms were seizure related and that the Lamictal was just not working to control them. We added Trileptal and began a Lamictal taper. I'm almost off of the Lamictal now and my myoclonic symptoms are GONE! Not even a single twitch! My doctor is convinced the Lamictal
caused the myoclonic symptoms and I agree (I've seen a study that substantiates this).
I thought I would share this in case anybody else is experiencing similar problems on Lamictal.
And, it's been 6 weeks since I've had even an aura! Things are looking up!!
