med side effects

   I was recently on Pritiq and it caused hot flashes and sweating and it made me feel manic like I wanted  to crawl out of my skin. I stopped that med 3 days ago. My Psych put me on mood stabilizer lamotrigine. My question is: Does lamotrigine cause sweating? or Am I still sweating from the Pristiq (anti-depressant)? I am newly diagnosed with BPD  and I am just trying to understand it all.

We have some webpages linked up with good information on mood disorders and mood stabilizers. If your psychiatrist stopped the Pristiq its because its an anti-depressent and it can worsen mania. Also any medication has withdrawal symptoms so that's what you are likely experiencing. Lamictal is a good mood stabilizer but takes a long time to build up to a proper dosage. Speak to your psychiatrist about all this.
