Anyone on Lamictal XR 100 mg the highest, age 22-25

[gina204]

Okay I am on Lamictal XR just started, the same day my egg was waiting to be ferilized was the same day I took a low dose of it that was 25 mg again it was the 30th, the calculator I did is saying that is the day my egg was highly likely waiting to be fertilized and before by I believe a couple days or so had sex. Took many tests with negatives coming back and now am seeing little spots the size of the eraser at a end of a pencil, note I only took one pill that night on Dec. 30 that was 25 mg, its odd my period wouldn't be here if I ovulated before I took the medicine, would the egg be fertilize and could of implanted or can it still not come out cause the medicine is causing my period to stop? The medicine has side effects of absent menstruation but its odd that it would and I only been taking a very low dose of this medicine, what is it that strong even at a low dose? I don't have another appointment till the 30th so have to wait till then. I am being slowly put up to 100 mg, if its already going to stop my periods am scared to go any higher but would stay on the dose I am now till I could see the doctor. I am calling another one to get a pap if I don't get my period. Oh and my period is still late, its suppose to have been here on Friday the 13th, yea kind of ironic! Making me real nervous now, urggh makes it more nerve wrecking when the place I need to go to when I make the appointment is closed today so have to wait till tomorrow to make one. Honestly what I want from this is any and all who are Lamictal XR the highest of 100 mg to talk to me about their experience on this medicine.

Oh and not comparing this to pregnancy but had this strong feeling to puke when I ate a veggie pizza yesterday and never happened before, also at Mcdonalds trying to eat their sausage they give on the side with the pancakes gave me the same reaction but not with the pancakes. That is odd to, not sure what else made me do that but yea I had a rough month with my health and not knowing answers even after seeing doctors. I went to the E.R. The 26th, they did a urine test for pregnancy but just had my period end the wed before so it wouldn't be possible, they probably were checking to make sure my period was my period. The reason I went to the E.R. was cause I had a seizure right after I was waiting to throw up at the toilet, I now know it was probably due to the low potassium, which was slightly off by .2 and the minimum is 3.5, the missed period couldd be the potassium to but even the doctors weren't worried said the level wasn't that low and that just up my potassium intake naturally. Ever since been drinking more orange juice, fruit, eating good, etc...... went to see doc and got my meds the 30th of Dec and took one tablet 25mg the same day which is when my egg was waiting. By the way I know the test they did by the bills I got and they didn't do a blood test, it would show on the bill. Soooo have no idea if all this is normal or out of the norm, just would like feedback w/ people on the same medicine as me and I will accept other feedback to I guess. Would appreciate anything at this point to help me out and help me decide for me what I should discuss with my doctor.

I understand its possible to be pregnant and still get negatives and I understand it could also be the medicine. That is why I want to hear from people who personally take this medicine who are in early 20's and are taking the highest of 100mg or less, like 25 mg or even 50 mg. I mostly only been taking 25 mg but started the 13th of Jan 50 mg and again the 30th of last month is when I started the medicine at 25 mg. This is just so screwed up cause I was on Lamictal 100 mg but this one is Lamictal XR two different ones I guess, not a problem on the Lamictal Regular.
