Lamictal. A life changer.

I would just like to come on here and say that ever since I have started my dose of 150 mg lamictal I have experienced anxiety free nights for 2 nights in a row and I can feel my depression somewhat lifting even more the stuff has been such a life changer for me even though I want more recovery than this I can tell things are going appeal and I have never felt more hope and my life. Of course I still have tiny mood swings but is nothing to get married to what it used to be I am so happy I just thought I would share some good news. I am not dreading night time for the 2nd night in a row this is such a huge step for me usually I am focused on bedtime because I know I will be on aware of my anxiousness and now I just had a really good night even if it was just binge watching TV I was still happy enough to do that. you guys have no idea that this means so much to me..

Hi I hope you're still doing better! My niece was put on this and is having a hard time upping her dose to 100 because it makes her so sick at her stomach! Did you have any side effects? Don't know how to help her. Doc says just keep taking it. Plus she has an actual phobia of throwing up...

If she has a phobia her mind might be playing tricks on her! I hope she gets better soon. I've never had any side effects from this medication. Its delightful bc meds always give me a hard time. I'm on 200 MG.

Thank you so much!! That's what I keep thinking too about her mind playing tricks on her. She bipolar and has terrible anxiety, can't sleep at night because it's so bad...and she's terrified she's going to throw up or hear someone throwing up on top of everything else. I'll talk to her again and see if I can get her to keep taking it.

Thanks again. 💖

thank you for sharing this! i just started lamictal about a week and a half ago. I'm hoping it helps my aggressive moods and my depression. I'm on 25mg but will being going up to 50mg at week 2. i haven't experienced any side effects so far. I'm taking the lamictal in addition to Prozac that I've been on for years. again thank you for sharing!
