I am bipolar I and I hadn't found any medication that helped me until my psychiatrist suggested I try Lamictal. I have tried over 15 different medication and have come a long way from where I started and I definitely owe to Lamictal. I have been taking it for about a year and a half now. When I first started taking it, I began to get acne. This seemed completely wrong to me, beause I had taken Acutane about two years earlier. My acne worsened evey time I started a higher dose. I had no choice but to stay on this medication. I went back to my dermatologist and she started me on Acutane again. My acne cleared up completely while taking it. I finished my 6 month cylce and have been off the Acutane for about 7 months. I just started to have break-outs again. Are there any other medicines that I can take to counteract this problem? I should also add that I have been taking the same dosage of Lamictal for a year now, no changes.
