Hi. I just started Lamotrigine 25 mg about 10 days ago and I'm already getting a some pronounced side effects:

\- Clumsiness (dropping and knocking over a lot of things, which isn't something I normally do often)

\- Making a lot of typos, which seems to be more related to the clumsiness and hitting the wrong keys by accident than cognitive impairment (I'll immediately notice I made a mistake and fix it, but I'm misclicking the wrong keys on my keyboard A LOT)

\- I'm lightheaded on/off throughout the day (feels like I'm wearing a baseball cap)

\- I feel spacey, kind of like I'm not all there in the moment

\- I'm getting formication (feeling like something is crawling on random regions of my skin) for a few hours after taking my dose

\- I'm sometimes getting joint pain for a few hours after taking my dose

&amp;#x200B;

My dilemma right now is that I wouldn't normally mind dealing with the side effects to see if they go away, but I'm studying chemistry at the moment and will be starting a thesis research project in a month. I'm going to be working with some potentially dangerous things and I really can't afford to be dropping anything or knocking things over. For this reason, I'm thinking of seeing if I can discontinue it and start on it again next Summer when I won't be in the lab. However, if there's a chance that this might go away within the next few weeks and that once it has, I can increase my dose without any additional symptoms, I wouldn't mind waiting and seeing.
