Hi Viciousk

I stopped keppra after 2 weeks & I am having similar side effects. Very nauseated & moody. Seeing things, even people that aren't there. My dr said it wasn't from the keppra but it has to be. He told me t go to the er.

Good luck!

Hello,
Lamictal causes serious withdrawal reactions. These withdrawal effects are more severe compared to side effects. The common symptoms seen with withdrawal are moodiness, lethargy, headaches, tingling, suicidal tendencies etc.Lamictral should not be stopped abruptly it should be done slowly. It is suggested to report these symptoms to your doctor. If the symptoms are severe or persistent you may need emergency medical help. Keep me posted.
Take care and regards!
