> What is the difference between Lamictal and Sulpiride as they both seem to be used as a mood enhancer.Is there a starting up period,with risk of negative side effects, or should the effect be immediate?
>Lamotrigine (Lamictal) and sulpiride are very different drugs. Sulpiride is an antipsychotic and antidepressant, while lamotrigine is an anticonvulsant/antiepileptic agent that has been found useful as a mood stabiliser and antidepressant. Sulpiride generally has a rapid onset of action, whereas lamotrigine generally must be started at very low - and mostly ineffective - doses and titrated slowly upwards in order to avoid provoking a rash.
