    Lamitrogine (generic Lamictal) has helped me tremendously, but it might not be right for you if you're experiencing these symptoms. I'm also taking Gabapentin (generic Neurotin) and Divalproex Extended-Release (generic Depakote). Maybe talk to your Neurologist about switching to these meds and see if there's any improvement.
