Dear Carol S,
Lamictal is the best solution that I have found for my long-term depression and bipolar issues. However, I have noticed some hormonal effects while taking the drug. For instance, I cannot take any form of birth control pills. The change in my estrogen levels alters the way the drug works in my body. I notice cognitive effects, weight gain, and feel ill. I usually change my dose of lamictal around my period to level off similar effects. What dose are you taking? Have you noticed any changes when you reduce your dose? SP
