Increasing lamotrigine dose
He was started on Keppra but the side effects were intolerable for him so changed to
Lamictal
. He takes 75mg twice a day and an antihistamine to combat the itching this causes. On this he has a seizure maybe once every 3-4 months but they are not always full blown.

Do people take anti-seizure medication for FND seizures?
I have stayed on my anti-seizure medication (
Lamictal
) through all of this but I do notice during my flareups having more of these déjà vu / altered consciousness episodes and I’m wondering if I’m still seizing a little bit.

Hi
My doc and I decided to stop my
Lamictal
, and while everything has been going smoothly my health anxiety is getting bad again. Mostly due to Covid & my fear of death. This last week has been especially hard because I work in a doctors office setting & I cannot simply cope.

Daily seizures
Often times I’m told it’s just anxiety, but for my initial college years I was misdiagnosed as bipolar and on
Lamictal
for mood swings.

Bipolar 2 with Anxiety and PTSD
I used to be on
lamictal
and Wellbutrin. They had put me on Lithium when I was younger and then took me off of it bc I had a “said” heart murmur. This past 2-3 years I have suffered what I can only explain to be a severe breakdown/burnout.

Gabapentin not working as yet
I do want to avoid a dopamine antagonist but as I previously discussed, I was originally told as I was on
lamictal
, that that was all that was on offer to me. I suggested gabapentin to try. I am uk based and feeling disheartened.

Lamictal rash
Has anyone experienced ‘
Lamictal
rash’ when starting this medication? I’ve never had a reaction to anything but I woke up with an itchy rash on my arms and legs. Apparently it’s a common side effect 😓

New member and started on gabapentin .
I pointed out these to my doctor who said "well that's the only drug I can give you, as you are on
lamictal
for epilepsy, and the rest are painkillers" I had to ask for gabapentin to try, and was told if I read all side effects of drugs I'd never take anything! .

Is my medication hindering my sleep?
While doing research, I saw that
Lamictal
can mess with your sleep even when you take it in the morning. I take 300mg every morning. I was wondering if anyone else has this issue. I'd rather not change up my meds but I can't keep doing this. If it is, any suggestions for pillsi can take?

Dog tired
Lamictal
, Mirapex, and an maoi. Just over a serious depressive episode a couple of years ago. What’s happening now is a mystery to me. I have what can only be called “attacks” of almost paralyzing fatigue that are coming over me with increasing frequency lately.

I've been on all (and high-dose) SSRIs except Luvox over the past 25 years and tried augmenting meds (Abilify, memantine, Risperdal,
Lamictal
, Geodon, Zyprexa). I also have tried Clomipramine, ketamine and, deep transcranial magnetic stimulation.
