> Hi! I am desperately trying to get "real" info on side effects of Lamictal. My dr. put me on Straterra for ADHD and it made me so so so sick. Who cares if it helped my mood?!? So now he decided to treat the bi-polar in me. He gave me Lamictal, but since I am still sick from the prev. meds I am a little hesitant to take it. If anyone has taken Lamictal, PLEASE let me know how it affected you.
Hi,
The first time I took Lamictal was w/ Depakote and I felt great on it. It made me euphorically high every time I increased it.However, I got a rash four months into it due to the addition and titrating up of Lithium and had to stop.
This second time is w/ trileptal and I just went off of it. I couldn't tolerate it this time due to the irritibiltaty and agitation. It made me zippy like before but dysphorically so.
A lot of people do really well on it. You MUST titrate up slowly - very slowly no matter what your pdoc says.
