Setraline and epilepsy

[Geo26]

My doctor has prescribed me sertraline as I suffer with severe health anxiety/OCD. I also take Lamotrigine for epilepsy (although mild and controlled). Does anyone else take both meds? There can be an interaction and my neurologist was far more for the CBT route initially but he doesn’t realise how bad my anxiety gets. Not sure what to do as last thing I want to do is potentially, although unlikely, is disrupt my epilepsy meds....?

Good morning 🌻. My daughter is also on the same drug protocol as you have been prescribed. Her anxiety levels are skyrocketing. She was taking Dilantin for seizures, but the side effects from that were overwhelming, while at the same time her anxiety was well under control. I'm curious to know what your Neurologist was concerned about in regards to the med combination. I hope you're finding the relief that you need. Thank you ❤️
