Physical Symptoms on Lamotrigine

I am really hoping that a lot of my physical symptoms are because of lamotrigine. but when I do anything physically active, weather big or small. I feel like my body, mostly in my arms and my face feel inflamed and sore. has anybody else have these similar symptoms while being on this med? I will be getting off if it for other reasons.

YES. I just started on lamotrigen and the side effects are hitting hard. My joints are so stiff and hurt so bad. I feel dizzy and foggy. I usually go to the gym every other day, but I can barely function. Ive also had lots of belly cramping and ive been retaining a lot of pee despite drinking 5-6 24oz bottles of water a day ( which could definetly contribute to my tummy pain). Im usually super active and feeling this way SUCKS.

The only thing I notice from that is it makes me exhausted. So tired. So I only take half of my prescribed dose
