Trouble breathing
After two visits to the ER, multiple tests and many phone calls with neurologist and GP we have determined that they have no idea why my daughter was having major problems taking breaths a week into increasing her Lamotrigine from 100mg to 200mg.

It’s now almost two weeks later and she’s breathing normally again which I believe is due to her body getting used to the medication. I just wanted to see if anyone else is having/had this problem in case it happens again or someone else can find comfort in knowing what it may be.
