Anxiety disorder
I was taking aripiprazole and vortioxetine for 6 months which improved my condition but had lately experienced drowsiness and impulse control issues. My doc stopped aripiprazole and kept me on lamotrigine. Initially lamotrigine was fine but recently I am getting severe anxiety from day 15 of taking lamo. I seem to be at point 0 where I started 6 months ago. Is this anxiety because of lamotrigine or something else.. plzz help
