> terrible gas (might be sympathy symptom for my cat, who's experiencing Stinky Butt Syndrome),<
I had severe gas at 100 mg, but it now appears unrelated to Lamictal.
Do you have lactose intolerance? There is more lactose in Lamictal pills than any other ingredient. Some say there's not enough lactose in the pills to cause a problem, but others say it could cause problems, if you have a severe intolerance.
From the prescribing info.:
LAMICTAL Tablets are supplied for oral administration as 25-mg (white), 100-mg (peach),
150-mg (cream), and 200-mg (blue) tablets. Each tablet contains the labeled amount of
lamotrigine and the following inactive ingredients: lactose; magnesium stearate; microcrystalline
cellulose; povidone; sodium starch glycolate; FD&C Yellow No. 6 Lake (100-mg tablet only);
ferric oxide, yellow (150-mg tablet only); and FD&C Blue No. 2 Lake (200-mg tablet only).
