> I developed a lot of acne while on Lamictal. I'm not sure, but I think the acne worsened as my dose increased. I think I was taking 300mg Lamictal (150x2).
>
> I quit taking the lamictal because the acne was so bad. My doctor said that is not a common reaction (rash yes, but acne no). But when I quit the Lamictal, the acne went away...
>
> Also, Lamictal's antidepressant effect seemed to not last and to be mild. But that was just for me.I definitely got acne from lithium and that's a fairly well documented side effect of lithium.
