Thanks for the thoughts, Donna. She is anxious, and everything you say about her wanting to be close is probably true. She is also a lifelong loner, so all the time most kids her age spend on calling friends and being with friends is time she spends in her room. I just thought I would ask about the Lamictal to see if there were many people with the same reaction.

Is there a limited time that one can be on Lamictal? My daughter has been on it for about five years.
