Hi Star - when I say that I worry that Lamictal is making me worse, I am referring to my mixed states. They have become much worse in the past 6-8 weeks. I just wonder if the lamictal is causing the decline or if it's just me. It's so hard to know.
As far as side effects I am dizzy and sleepy on the lamictal. grrr. It's frustrating because it seems like for most people it's the opposite.
And my hair is falling out for sure.I'm curious to know which drug you started first -the lamictal or the trileptal. And when you added the second drug what improvements did you see that the other wasn't able to give you. (LOL - I hope I am making sense).
Thanks again.
Max
> I haven't heard of lamictal making your hair fall out. And personally, I've experienced a very low side effect profile. I take it in conjunction with Trileptal and suffer from severe depression with suicidal ideation. What are the symptoms of you feeling bad? Achiness, headache, etc? It initially makes me a bit hypomanic, which I like. I only take 100mgs and started feeling better around 50 initally but am pushing up to 150 starting tomorrow.
