Hello I'm bipolar I and take 2mg risperdal and started lamictal one month ago to help with the depressive end (albeit mild). I've had gum recession issues in the past but since starting lamictal have gotten noticeably worse, especially after increasing to 100mg, now they hurt. My dentist told me lamictal can be rough on your teeth and gums. I'm desperately trying to avoid gum surgery in the future. Has anyone had problems with lamictal like this. What would be a reasonable alternative to lamictal. My pdoc mentioned trileptal as an option but does trileptal help with mild depression? Any suggestions. Thanks for reading!
