Lamictal

I was wondering if anyone had any alternatives to Lamictal, because I’m having some side effects that are not helpful at all and are actually making things much worse. Thanks

Hi. I take Lamictal & have no side effects but everybody's different. There are plenty of other anti epilepsy tablets to try. If you are attending a neurologist tell them that Lamictal are causing you problems. Or tell your own Doctor.

I take 700mg of lamictal for 16 years with no problems....until August 8 2016 when I had a seizure and total my car. I woke up at truma unit at VCU/MCV from accident and had to learn how to use my right leg again,still messed up. Had to go to my neurologist and he added 500mg of keppra to go with my lamictal. Guess my body was getting use to the lamictal. Had a harder time getting my drivers license back,have to get doctor fill out DMV papers every 6 months or I'll loose drivers license again. Try getting keppra from doctor if lamictal is causing problems. Hope you get something that will take care of it.
