In reply to Barb, Re: Lamictal side effects, posted by McPac on July 2, 2003, at 15:14:46
I came to this site cause I have been very aggitated/irritated since I began Lamictal. I am only up to 50mg a day at this point and am hoping this unfortunate side effect will subside.
As usual, there is little info about this particular side effect in any official literature and I must turn to others. I'm afraid my doc will think I'm crazy all over again. So I am glad to hear others have experienced the temper. Currently I hate all people, all my friends...
I wish someone out there could tell me if they were able to work through this side effect. I'm taking Lamactil (along with my Lithium) to treat depression because the antidepressants make me manic or just don't work at all.
