How long do the side effects of Lamotrigine last after I stop taking it?

[noname223]

I have very strong side effects from Lamotrigine. I stopped it since 1 week and there are bearly any changes. I still have the side effects. On one webiste they say it can take several weeks or months in order that the side effects wear off. What are your experiences? My psychiatrist wonders that this is barely possible that they last so long...
I took it 7 months.

Hello, dear.
Last year I stopped taking lamotrigine and aripiprazol suddenly and felt extremely anxious and nervous for about 10 days but then I was "okay".

After stopping Wellbutrin I had unbearable brain twinges and a problem where the left side of my face would spasm whenever I opened my left eye. I kept count and it lasted a little over a hundred days for me but it's completely gone now, thank God.

So I wouldn't lose hope quite yet!
