Lamictal...Anybody know of a medication similar in effects

with less of the serious side effects.

They use it as a mood stabilizer like lithium.

Lithium
Tegretol
Depakote is all I can think of.

Tegretol was a good mood stabilizer that helped my anxiety aswell however it made me get low white blood cell count I can’t spell the name of the condition it helped my psychosis too but make sure if you ask your doctor about the blood tests also it caused balance issues and coffee for me made me depressed with it which is not normal for me coffee usually cheers me up

Every med has side effects however different people get different side effects I think and I might be wrong but your worried about the rash not everyone gets it I just wanna make sure you know that I’ve been on lamictal for over 10 years

Yeah it is the life threatening rash I worry about.

I worried about the rash to but didn’t get it.
